Redesigned plugin framework to comply with KDE standards: * .desktop files are used to describe amaroK-plugins as services. * KTrader is used for searching plugins and querying properties. The advantage is that we can now use the powerful trader query language to search for a plugin that fits our needs. No need to reinvent the wheel. * It's possible to query plugins from the shell by using the little tool ktradertest. Very handy for quickly getting an overview once you have a lot of plugins installed.
Thanks go to Nikolas Zimmermann (wildfox@kde.org) for coming up with the idea.
This commit merges amaroK's new plugin framework in. The framework is not yet complete and needs further testing, but it's already useful for loading and unloading our engines on demand. * So far I've converted the ArtsEngine and the GstEngine to plugins. Dynamic loading helps here to reduce amaroK's startup time, since we do not need to link everything and the kitchen sink any more. * The next step will be converting our visualizations to the plugin framework (and enabling full-screen rendering)
