[Qgis-developer] Context sensitive help id generator

All,
Having heard nothing from my previous email as to a preference for
dealing with this issue, I created and committed a Python script to
generate unique IDs for use in the context sensitive help system.

A context id is generated from the class it is associated with (eg. QgsAbout).

Please note that this is a change in the way IDs are generated
(previous method used a Java-only solution) so existing IDs can be
reproduced using the new script. The existing IDs can remain as
is---they do not need to be changed unless a conflict occurs with a
newly generated ID (I don't anticipate this happening).

The script is in the QGIS source tree in SVN: ./scripts/context_help_id.py
