[Kde-windows] initial download tool for gnuwin32 and further kde packages

[Ralf Habacker]

Hi all,

appended is anm inital version of a  QT based kde installer which could 
be used as install base today for required packages from sf gnuwin32 
mirrors and for KDE and related packages.  How it works:

At first it downloads a package list (html page) from the sourceforge 
gnuwin32 file list page, parse it and generate a local package list. 
Then it looks if there are already installed packages and update the 
list in memory and prints out a package list to get a overview. Be 
default it downloads the unzip packages, which is used as external unzip 
tool. (the unzip library should be called later directly)
In a second start packagenames could be added to the command line, which 
are then downloaded and installed.

Compiling/running instructions.
1. Unpack the archive.
2. enter main dir and run qmake
3. run make
4. run bin\kde-installer-console.exe

This tool could also be a base of a generic sourceforge installation 
tool, as the package list format is the same for all projects.

My plans are to add this to svn as subdir of kdelibs/win/kde-installer, 
so that others can contribute. Another choice is to locate it on the 
qtwin cvs/svn.

I would be glad to get some feedback about this effort, if this would be 
useful and so one.

Ralf
