Puppy specific version of ROX-Filer

[woodenshoe-wi]

The testing branch of woof-CE is currently using a new fork of ROX-Filer.

Among the changes are:

• - Support for "copy/cut to clipboard" and "paste from clipboard" has been added. This means the old "Copy" menu item has been renamed to "Duplicate" and the key-binding changed from Ctrl+C to Ctrl+D. The key-binding for "Delete" has been changed from Ctrl+X to the "Delete" key.
  
  - When dragging .desktop files to the pinboard (desktop), the "Name" field of the .desktop file is used as the default label instead of the filename.
  
  - The "Move" functionality has been changed to allow merging with any existing directories with the same names.
  
  - "Merge" and "Ignore Older" checkboxes have been added to the "Copy" and "Move" dialogs, defaults can be changed in 'Options...'->'Action windows' if you don't want to tick the box every time.
  
  - When a directory is missing/deleted the window will be automatically closed immediately, but this can be changed in 'Options...'->'Filer windows' if you don't like it.
  
  - In list view mode (Show extra details) items can only be dragged by clicking in the icon and name columns. All other columns will start a selection box, which should make selecting files in list view mode easier.
  
  - It is now configurable in 'Options...'->'Filer windows'->'List View' which columns are visible in list view mode.
  
  - A "New" button (the blue plus) has been added to the toolbar. Left click creates a new directory, middle click creates a new blank file and right click opens the "New" menu.

Works quite nicely in QuirkyXerus and Easy too.

One thing lacking in rox-filer is that it shows the current folder in the window title, and not all window managers include a visible (or full) title (cwm for instance has no window titles, twm can have tabs as titles (relatively short/small) ...etc.).

Would be nice if the current folder path was shown within the rox window area somewhere rather than having to do something like type / to see a goto content of the current folder path.
