About Version Controls, CvsPart, GlobalCvs, ...

Hi all,
	I have done two design clean-up  merges:

1) KDevVersionControl + KDevGlobalVersionControl --> KDevVersionControl
2) GlobaCvs + CvsPart --> CvsPart

CvsPart now inherits from KDevVersionControl (was KDevPlugin before): all 
other version controls should be modified to standardize about this 
inheritance.

In addition the kdevcvs.desktop now has X-KDevelop-Scope=Global so is 
loaded/unloaded IDE-wise. Moreover, a new ServiceTypes has been added: 
KDevelop/VersionControl: kdevelopversioncontrol.desktop was already in 
lib/interfaces/ but (quite stragely) the file wasn't listed in Makefile.am 
and so not installed in $prefix/share/servicetypes: this means that the other 
Vcs should conform to this way . (It is not essential since all works with 
the actual way of querying for VCs, but this may change in the future ...) .

(To avoid headaches to some of you, I can tell that you _cannot_ add a new 
entry to a "random picked" .desktop file and hope to query for its value 
using KTrader: you must first write down a "descriptor desktop file" (not 
found any official name atm, sorry ;) and install it in 
$PREFIX/share/servicetypes. After you have done so you may add the fields as 
described).

parts/appwizard/appwizarddlg.cpp has to be modified in the way it queried for 
available VCSs. Two remarks about current situation:

1) Since CvsPart is _currently_ the only for provide an implementation for 
newProjectWidget(), the app-wizard will get only this and
2) anyway it will query only the currently loaded plugins (that, if CvsPart 
has not been currently enabled, the AppWizardDlg will show _no_ available 
VCS.

I'll keep it on testing on my machine _without_ committing anything and hope 
to have your feedbacks (in particulars from the Vcs creators/maintainers ;): 
this is only a Start Of Discussion(TM).

Now, it is a bit late here ... time to go to bed ... tomorrow's planning: 
_debugging_ :)

Regards,
Mario

Ps: for some of you who could remember my older posts, I removed KURLfications 
in interface and/or common classes such as FileContext and localized the use 
of KURL to CvsPart alone: this should break anything in any part ;)
