KsirK migration to Subversion and bksys

Hello,

Today I asked the Gna team to migrate the KsirK codebase to Subversion instead of CVS. I was convinced to do so after reading the Subversion book and trying it on another project. It is really a great enhancement in a user perspective.

I also decided to migrate KsirK from the good old configuration and building system based on autoconf/automake to bksys, a configuration tool for KDE software made upon Scons. It is more elegant and solves a lot of problems. This change should not be too much visible for users as a configure script and a Makefile remain with the same usage. The only problem with bksys currently is that it is not handled by kdevelop and thus adding and removing of files to and from the projects will have to be done manually. I hope that this will change in the future.

Kleag.
