Metric presentation

[M Breugelmans]

The last few days I've started with metric support, currently in
playground. Now I'm wondering how to best present them to the user. At
some point I want to have advanced visual representation (eg
polymetric views) but for now a simple textual format will have to do.
These are the options:

1/ QTView/QTextBrowser in a toolview
2/ QTView/QTextBrowser in a popup
3/ QTextBrowser with rich-text html in the central widget

For the soc gcov plugin I chose for a QTView in separate toolview(s).
In retrospect I'm not so sure that was a good decision because (i)
it's just static data, not a tool (ii) the toolview-button space
becomes full quickly (iii) QTViews are slow, both performance and
implementation wise.

What do you guys think? Currently I'm leaning towards option 3 but not
firmly ...
