The GIMP Help System part II: press "F1" while browsing a menu
to show the help page for the menu entry you're currently over
with the mouse.
* app/color_notebook.c: all color selectors have to register with
a help page now.
* app/color_select.[ch]: register with a help string. Removed
the dialog part of the files because it's use was deprecated
anyway (use color notebooks instead).
* app/colormap_dialog.i.c
* app/colormap_dialog.p.h
* app/palette.c
* app/palette_select.c: use a color notebook instead of a color
selector.
* app/gimphelp.c
* app/gimpui.c: minor changes.
* app/gimprc.c: "use help" defaults to TRUE now.
* app/lc_dialog.c
* app/lc_dialogP.h: a special help function which shows the help
for the currently selected notebook page.
* app/menus.c: some weird code which catches "key_press_event"
in all menu shells and pops up the corresp. help page for the
selected item. Embedded the GtkItemFactoryEntry in a new
GimpItemFactoryEntry to allow a help path to be stored.
Will be partially exported and moved to gimphelp.[ch] later to
catch key_press for plug-in menu items (don't try this now ;-)

* app/undo_history.c: changed all dialog constructors to point
to the right place in the new help file structure.
* configure.in
* help/*: the basic new help file structure.
* modules/colorsel_gtk.c
* modules/colorsel_triangle.c
* modules/colorsel_water.c: register a help page.
* plug-ins/helpbrowser/helpbrowser.c: load the help files
according to the new help file structure.

The GIMP Help System part 1: Press "F1" in any dialog to pop up
the help page for this dialog.
Moved the widget constructors from preferences_dialog.[ch] and the
query boxes from interface.[ch] to gimpui.[ch].
The dialog constructors take a help_func and a help_data
parameter and install the "F1" accelerator which emits the new
"help" signal.
The "help" signal callback calls help_func(help_data) which finally
has to call gimp_help() which in turn invokes the help browser.
Still have to find a proper way to (1) prevent "F1" being assigned
to some menu item and (2) to catch "F1" while browsing the menu
trees in order to pop up the help for the selected item.
* app/menus.c: a <Toolbox>/File/Help... menu item.
* app/commands.[ch]: a command callback for the "Help..." menu item.
* app/gimprc.[ch]: new boolean gimprc variable "use_help".
* app/info_dialog.[ch]: pass a help function and data to the info
dialog constructor.
* app/tools.[ch]: store the tools help page names in the tool info
structure. Export a special tools_help_func() which shows the help
page for the active tool.
* app/[all files calling a dialog constructor]: pass the dialog's
help page to the constructor.
Most dialogs are now created by gimp_dialog_new() which also sets
up the action_area and the WM delete event callback, so I removed
the resp. code from these files.
Fixed some minor bugs and did some other stuff but didn't change
any logic except dialog creation.
* plug-ins/helpbrowser/helpbrowser.c: don't try to call a running
help browser and don't install any menu path (all done in
app/gimphelp.[ch] now).
