changed shortcut for mixpaste from CTRL-SHIFT-X to CTRL-SHIFT-C

added the "crop" command to the edit menu

made the "mixpaste" command work

corrected the call of "delete", now really deletes instead of cutting and copying the selection to the clipboard (saves clipboard content)

changed filenames to reflect class names

one class per file is now the standard

stripped leading "Kwave" in Classnames for most Classes

make distclean in the projekt root directory also removes zero-length files, *.orig, *.rej and *~ (just makes cleaner than before)

symbolic links to Makefile, Makefile.in and Makefile.am in the plugins directory are deleted with "make distclean" and rebuilt on "make" (changes in the referenced Makefiles in the template directory will not be reflected thousand times when creating a patch with diff)

io functions and playback adapted to SignalManager

Introduction of SignalManager class for multiple channel management

Just a fix for an annoying bug while zooming out

removed a memory leak in playback

kwave now keeps track of last directory saved to; for user convenience

reestablished selection mechanism to match versions before 0.29.3 and corrected some otherwise screwed-up behaviour

_now_ all parameters to destructors should have vanished

developement has slowed down a bit, this release is not as complete as I wished but since 0.29.2 has a destructor with parameters accidently left in, and so does not compile on all systems -> here we go again...

reworked selection routines into a new class, code is still rather confusing, but seems to work

added checkmark functionality again

converted file-menus to new menu-scheme

added gui to mix channels together, the needed functions for mixing are still missing
