CVS commit by harris: 

Fixed handling of Image/Info URL files.  The files 
image_url.dat and info_url.dat contain data for web
links attached to the popup menus of various objects.

The first time KStars is run, the globally-installed 
files are copied into the user's KDEHOME directory, 
so they are free to add/modify/remove links as they 
see fit.  However, this means that if the global 
version of the file is updated, the user will not 
see the updates, because KStars only looks at the 
global file if the local file does not exist.

This is now fixed.  KStarsData::openURLFile() 
compares the timestamps of the global and local 
versions.  If the global version is newer, then 
it is checked for new or duplicate lines.  When 
checking lines, only the object-name and text-label 
fields are considered, not the URL itself.  This 
is done so that if a link's URL is updated, it is 
still considered a duplicate of the original line.
New lines in the global file are appended to the 
local file.  When duplicate lines are found, the 
line from the global file replaces the line in the 
local file.

Please test this on your system using the recently 
updated image_url.dat.  Before running 
kstars, your local image_url.dat should have ~440 
lines. Afterwards, it should have ~650 lines.
