Done -> CVS ;-)

Well, piave will abort is wrongfilename and on avery other error, I'll fix 
this step by step. Til now it didn't make sense not to abort. Also it will 
not close the files, and err.. all kinds of other bugs .. ;-)   , but it wil 
reply te length  (hopfully ;-).

I didn't test it though. If you need features in kdenlive, just implement the 
commands and tell me how to trigger it.  I'll checkout new kdenlive CVS and 
code and test the response. If I really don't agree with a command, I can 
still complain afterwards.


I also added more detailed installation instructions:
 INSTALL

Is this really to complicated for alpha/beta testing? 
Do I need to put libxml++ in piave CVS? 
Reinhard, does this recipe work for you?
