using Qt's assistant as an external viewer

This is just for illustrational purposes.

I've been digging through the documentation plugin sources on a (fruitless)
hunt for the explanation of an issue that's been getting under my skin.

I whipped up the attached patch as a by-product. It illustrates a very basic
implementation of an external help viewer, using the remote control interface
of Qt's Assistant if that utility is accessible via a symlink or proxy called
"kdevelop-qthelp-viewer".

It maintains a single Assistant instance per session at most, and terminates
the instance when quitting the session. The Assistant is well-behaved enough
not to unhide and raise itself when minimised/iconified/hidden, so this feature
actually works pretty neatly (admittedly on a large screen or multi-head
set-up).
