Takes me some time because I just discovered yet another locale related 
bug that I am trying to fix... ( QLocale is inserting the thousands 
separator for numbers > 1000 when doing toString conversions, which 
results in 10000 becoming "10,000" which of course breaks everything...)

I have to think more about this effect upgrade stuff. Should we support 
only upgrading or also downgrading? Things might become complicated if 
an effect has 4 different versions and we want to allow every possible 
change (12 possibilites if I count correctly...)

Also, I like the idea of having the upgrade function in the effects xml, 
so it's not hardcoded into Kdenlive. However what bothers me is that 
with what you wrote, all the upgrade "routines" xml will stay forever in 
memory (in the effects list). I would have preferred to only load them 
on demand when doing a conversion.

Anyways, I am still working on that locale issue and will come back to 
you later...
