GTK+/QT QuickLink Patch

This patch adds a Quick Link (QL) feature to the GTK+1.2 and QT standard file selection dialog. You can store commonly used directories in your QL List, such as /mnt/cdrom or /home/user/mp3.

ATTENTION! This is still beta software! It may crash or corrupt your data or system!
It seems that many programs don't need a recompile to work with the new file selection dialog. If programs don't behave properly after you have patched GTK+, please try to recompile the program. If is does not work by then, please submit a bug report to the authors.
