Alias expansion update.



Hi,

The patch attached should provide better alias expansion for most people.
Its been working fine for me for two days, so I am making it available
for testing.

Advantages for users:
- The keys should behave a lot more intuitive now.
  Keys that work better include ',', 'end', 'home', 'left', 'right', etc.
- It now will no longer mangle your input when showing you an expansion.

Advantages for developers:
- The data structures used are better.
- It should be easier (not easy) to provide a GUI drop-down instead
  of expanding in the GtkEntry box.

Caveats:
- It no longer colours the expansion.  I can only do this with
  gtk_editable_set_selection(), which breaks normal cut & paste
  in the e-mail.  Can anybody tell me how to add colour to a
  GtkEntry() widget?
- The patch should work against CVS.  It won't work against
  Balsa 1.0.0.
- Uses a huge amount of g_message() statements that should
  be removed when people are happy it works.


Kind regards,				  
Berend
