Attached patch uses KDirOperator and KUrlNavigator and makes it look
"almost" as if dolphin was embedded into KDevelop :) I've used only few
of the actions that KDirOperator provides, we'll have to think about
what to do with the rest. Also the context menu might be a slight
problem, there's no hook equal to what kate provides (just a signal with
a KMenu that can be chaged), so we probably need to subclass
KDirOperator to provide our own context menu. Thats needed to properly
embed some things, like vcs options and eventually some of the other
options from the action list of kdiroperator.

Altogether the patch (if you don't count the uncommented lines from
filemanager.cpp/h is I think not more than 20 loc which is really few.
And getting file-management into it is also pretty easy I think.
