   Hi!

For those who may want to work on kmedia2: I've now implemented enums
in MCOP, which makes it possible to run the kmedia2.idl file through
mcopidl and get useful output. (I did some minor modifications).

So anybody who wants to start working on kmedia2 can now do so. Well
lots of stuff is missing (for instance reference counting, so that
objects can properly be freed), but for now thats a start.

The idea is: derive from PlayObject, implement something that plays
something, and write a remote controller for generic PlayObjects like
in kmedia1.

What is missing is of course the place to put the factory call

  PlayObject createPlayObject(in string filename,
                                  in string (ArtsPurpose?) purpose);

well - and the ability for mcopidl to understand that PlayObject is
an object reference and to pass that properly... well I'll fix that
soon.

   Cu... Stefan
