Benoît Minisini 1e791cee6b [CONFIGURATION]
* BUG: The external gettext library is now used only on OpenBSD. If needed,
  other systems can be added of course.
* BUG: Fix Qt moc detection for OpenBSD.

[DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT]
* NEW: In the menu editor, a new menu is now inserted after the current 
  menu and not before.

[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Object.Attach() and Object.Detach() now correctly deals with
  Observer objects.

[COMPILER]
* NEW: When a form method declaration has no END keyword, the error 
  message is now accurate. It does not talk about the form definition 
  anymore.

[GB.GTK]
* BUG: The use of alternative input methods do not print warnings anymore.

TODO list: always incomplete :-)
--------------------------------
CONFIGURATION
- Raise an error when libffi is not found.
COMPILER
- Compilation error must indicate the column, not only the line.
- Better error message if a class form structure is incorrect. Otherwise the error
talks about the form generated code.
INTERPRETER
- A stack that can grow dynamically.
- A special syntax to make variable writable once only (for controls variables).
- Add global parameters for each component.
- Make objects printable, with a "_print" hidden method or something else.
- Make objects writable and readable to streams.
- Perl regexp with the MATCH operator.
- An expression can begin with NEW.
- Type mismatch error: print the mismatched values.

DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
- .startup file, a copy of .project with only startup info inside.
- .project files should be marked as 2.0.
- Renaming controls in the IDE renames the source code too.
- Loading a "form" component needs calling InitControl on classes that are not
member of the list of controls.
- Bookmarks in editor.
- Manage Object properties in IDE.
- Put a language code in comments, and hide them as needed by the user.
- Make a visual control clipboard.
- Packager should manage component projects.

- Load/Save in menu editor.
- Manage svn conflicts.
