Tools and commands will have to be merged, and made to use KAction. The only 
way (that I've found) to access a tool is by having the tool export a 
KAction, and then defining a toolbar button etc. in the .rc file.

The plugins have no actual direct contact with the rest of the app, as in 
getting passed a pointer etc in the ctor. This is probobly how it should be 
anyways.

Can the dockers be made to be configured from an .rc file? This is imperative.
