Add a signal/slot to change the cursor to busy state.

Don't show progressbars until installation has been checked.
Fix QueueListModel internal corruption.
Fix the possibility to remove packages after emerge.
Fix cleanupQueue signal
Fix queue packages removal.
Fix Configuration files merging.
Clear program before launching another one

is what I've done.

The biggest part was the GUI thread problem that was causing random crashes 
and freezes.
There was also the ThreadWeaver jobs that were not deleted, so they did not 
give the database connection back (see it as a consumer that does not give the 
semaphore back)
A note to myself : there are still some jobs that are not deleted, it leaks 
memory but doesn't use any DB connection. 

Unfortunately, Google Summer of Code is finished.
Fortunately, I'll keep working on Kuroo (yes), there are still lots of bugs, 
even though I can't reproduce a lot of them. For instance, the queue grows 
when you want to check the installation, kuroo crashes after a lot of updates, 
...

I'll also finish the public portage API in C, the Layman one needs testing and 
the portage one is not finished yet, There is still work to do on the python 
version.

It was a great GSoC ! But now, I have some new exams I have to pass :(

Detlev.
