KDevelop generic plugin factory.

/**
This class provides a generic implementation of a KLibFactory for
use with TDevelop plugins.
Usually it is convenient to use K_EXPORT_COMPONENT_FACTORY macro
to create factories for TDevelop plugins. For example, for DummyPlugin
the factory can be created (in dummyplugin.cpp file) as:
@code
typedef KDevGenericFactory<DummyPlugin> DummyPluginFactory;
K_EXPORT_COMPONENT_FACTORY(libkdevdummyplugin, DummyPluginFactory( data ) )
@endcode
Data should be a const static object. This way it complies with the requirements
for data objecs of KDevGenericFactory constructor.
<b>Important:</b><br>
There is no need to create @ref TDEAboutData objects. It is more useful to create
a static const @ref KDevPluginInfo object which can be used also in the constructor
of a plugin.
For example, dummyplugin.cpp file could contain:
@code
#include <kdevplugininfo.h>
static const KDevPluginInfo data("KDevDummyPlugin");
typedef KDevGenericFactory<DummyPlugin> DummyPluginFactory;
K_EXPORT_COMPONENT_FACTORY(libkdevdummyplugin, DummyPluginFactory( data ) )
DummyPlugin::DummyPlugin(TQObject *parent, const char *name, const TQStringList & )
:KDevPlugin(&data, parent, name)
{
}
@endcode
In the example above the duplication of information is avoided as same @ref KDevPluginInfo
objects are used for plugin and for plugin factory. This is possible because @ref KDevPluginInfo
class has an operator to cast @ref KDevPluginInfo to @ref TDEAboutData.
