Thinking about how to optimize image selection

[Andreas Schleth]

Hi Robert,

I diddled a bit with the code of Viewer/ViewerWidget.* (knowing very 
little about C++) and found, that the default annotation mode is hard coded.

Well, I can code harder :-)

So I came up with the attached patch, that will change the default mode 
to "tokenizing".
Applying the patch after a git pull should create a sanitized version of 
KPA for our personal use.

This is integrated into my build script (with the patch file residing 
inside the KPA folder):

...
git pull
# patch tokenizing default
patch -p 1 -i tokenizing.patch
...

Works for me (TM)

Cheers, Andreas
