Review request for KDevelop.


Summary
-------

At the kdevelop-ml somebody complained that the problems-tab is not useful. That is true when you are using stl-headers, then you get dozens of erros. But 95% of the errors are caused by the missing suppport of the typename-keyword in the C++-parser. It is difficult to implement a perfect solution, because you have to care about, that it will not be used outside of templates. But there is a very simple solution removing all those errors, although some wrong code will be accepted. However, I have never heard about anybody using too many typenames. So that should not be a problem, we are an IDE and not a compiler (alternatively we are using -fpermissive :D). The patch makes the problems-tab usable and it needs only two lines of code, so it would not be a problem to include it in the release. Btw.: It is not only a STL-problem, there are also KDE-headers with a lot of template-stuff.
