Installation and uninstallation of packages is now done in an instance
of the package. The methods return a KJob* which can be used to track
progress and result. The real work is done in a thread in order to make
it possible to not block the UI.
this drops a 100k loop of copies from ~2700ms to ~37ms and a 100k loop
of copy-n-find from ~3900ms to ~40ms.
the cache addition is predicated on the idea that lookups of the same files will be frequent enough to warrant the small amount of extra memory usage for the cache. if that does not hold in practice (though it appears to) then this will not be a gain and in fact be a small net loss for memory footprint
the dptr change is predicated on the assumption that copies of Package will be frequent, and so must be low cost. this is known to be true. even if it wasn't, there is no down-side to this change. the upside are significant time and memory savings.
* support tar and compressed tar as well as zip
* support archives that contain the actual package in a top level subdir
themes and wallpapers now install nicely.

Remember to document ALL parameters to methods. They may seem obvious to you, but I had to look at the code for at least two of the methods in order to document their parameters correctly.

for the kdelibs style.

* provide a Package::registerPackage convenience method
* make the contentsPrefix optional / changeable; required for packages we don't control the structure of
* PackageMetadata -> file fixes
* provide a way to set the implementation languae in PackageMetadata (e.g. "dashboard" or "webkit")
svn path=/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/libs/plasma/; revision=780464
* split install in Package into both installing the Package and registering it, allowing PackageStructures to implement their own installation routine without having to reimplement registration

* Add convenience constructor to the Package class.
* Make some methods const in PackageStructures.
* Use QByteArray to store keys in PackageStructures, so that they are compared
by value, and not by address.
* Add a test checking that the path to the metadata file is retrieved correctly.
