KileOnWindows: bug in live preview

There are some more places with the wrong separator. The most important in kileinfo.cpp and kilelauncher.cpp. So I attached an improved fix for this bug.

Installing the current KileOnWindows version (based on the Git repository of Kile), I found that it works already quite well. Except LivePreview. Searching with Google I found a lot of  reports concerning this bug.

When I studied this problem, I found that the TEXINPUTS variable was set absolutely wrong, when starting the LivePreview. This variable should contain at least the temporary LivePreview directory and the directory, which contains the TEX file. So using Windows it should look like

TEXINPUTS=directory1;directory2

But it looks like

TEXINPUTS=directory1:directory2

In a real example, this environment variable was set to

TEXINPUTS=C:/Users/fritz/AppData/Roaming/.kde/share/apps/kile/livepreview/preview-iIhaaa/:C:/Users/fritz/Documents:

You see, that not ';' is taken as separator using Windows, but ':'. So the TEX file couldn't be found by Kile's LivePreview.

I attached a fix, which solves this problem. I also sent this patch to the maintainer of Kile, but didn't get an answer so far.
