Review request for Marble.


Changes
-------

added link to icons archieve for testers


Description (updated)
-------

Adds a render plugins showing geocaches from opencaching.com on the map.

Capabilities:
* shows geocaches on the map, using icons derived from opencaching.com graphics
* shows a tooltip with the most important data when icons are hovered
* provides a dialog with details, description, hint and recent logs for each geocache
* the dialog shows the distance to the cache if available, otherwise the distance to the users home location as known by marble (calculated at the time the dialog is shown)

Good translation support, ui and known translatable datas from the remote service are marked for translation.
The plugin is trying to use graphics and colors from the remote service in an unobtrusive way, so that the data is easily recognizable but does not interfer with the application or desktop style.

Possible future improvements:
* show geocache tags in graphical form (easy)
* show opencaching "verifyable" attributes for each cache (easy)
* allow registering/logging a visit to a cache (requires oauth based login)
* show users found caches by marking the icons with an emblem or special color (requires oauth based login)
* update distance data in dialog when it changes (easy)
* show a "go to" widget with live updated distance/bearing/course

You can find icons here: http://owncloud.alweb.dk/public.php?service=files&file=%2Fanders%2Ffiles%2Foccicons.tar.bz2 - unpack in marble root directory
