Catchup to latest Symbian^4

Here is a list of (major) changes in Qt from 0.92 to 0.93.

Bug-fixes, optimizations and much improved documentation, of course.

There are not many changes in the API interface.
Here's a list of the most important changes.


QApplication:
-------
  setCursor(), restoreCursor() now uses a stack of cursors.
  quit() is now a slot.
  exit() replaces the old static quit() function.


QColor:
-------

    like this: QColor(320, 255, 240, QColor::Hsv)


QObject:
--------
  Has now a timerEvent(), which was moved from QWidget.
  Compatible with old code.


QPainter:
---------
  GC caching (internal optimization) makes drawing very fast.

  drawShade* obsolete, moved to qdrawutl.h and renamed to qDrawShade*
    - These are now global functions that take QPainter * and QColorGroup
    - Added qDrawWinPanel and qDrawWinButton for Windows 95 look
    - Added qDrawPlainRect


QPixmap:
-------
  New fill() function that fills the pixmap with the background color
    OR background pixmap of a widget.


QRect:

  fixup() renamed to normalize(), returns a new QRect.


QWidget:
-------
  New function setCaption(), setIcon() and setIconText(), moved from QWindow.


New classes:

New global functions:
---------------------
  qInstallMsgHandler() and qRound(), in qglobal.h.

  A tutorial.
