[PATCH] Load CvsService asynchronously

Hi,

With my recent patches to kdevelop, cvsservice is the slowest part to load at 
the moment, due to waiting on the external DCOP service to start.  I have 
patched it to load the service asynchronously and (hopefully) not crash when 
it doesn't load (which it seemed from my reading of the code that in the 
past, it would show a nice dialog then proceed to crash anyway?).  This makes 
cvsservice one of the fastest to load :)

I haven't tied in displaying the error message yet (see FIXME), because at the 
moment I don't know of a way to tell when an error has occurred (perhaps we 
could have a single shot timer with a sane delay eg. 10 - 20s that gets 
cancelled on successful load).  Ideally we would turn KDCOPServiceStarter 
into a QObject which could handle the async loading and properly report an 
error, but that would be KDE4 material...

Please review.

Cheers,
Hamish.
