CVS commit by harris: 

Converting KStars to the KConfigXT framework, which will make 
management of our many config options much easier.

With this framework, all of our options are described in the
XML file kstars.kcfg.  The build process parses this file 
and generates an Options class with accessors and mutators 
for each option.  Using Qt Designer, the widgets controlling 
each option are named "kcfg_OptionName", and then these are 
automatically connected to the corresponding option with no 
actual coding required.

In practice, where you used to see "options()->optionName", 
you will now see "Options::optionName()" for access and 
"Options::setOptionName(newValue)" for mutation.

To add a new option, just describe it in the kstars.kcfg 
file, and make sure to name its widget controller (if any) 
in Qt Designer with the "kcfg_OptionName" scheme.


Notes:

I added a "Colors" group to the kstarsrc file.

There is no longer a viewopsdialog class.  Instead, we just 
create a KConfigDialog object and add the Ops* widgets as 
pages.  Almost all of the code that was in ViewOpsDialog is 
not necessary under KConfigXT, but some of it we still 
need for controlling complex widgets that KConfigXT can't 
deal with:
- the listbox of deep-sky and custom object catalogs 
  (now in OpsCatalog.cpp)
- the listboxes of adjustable colors and predefined color 
  schemes (now in OpsColors.cpp).

Because it is now a standard KConfigDialog, the View Options 
window no longer does "live" updating of the skymap as 
options are changed.  It does have an "Apply" button,
which achieves the same result, just not automatically.

It seems to be working pretty well; please test the behavior 
of options if you can.
