Georg Baum 8e6e970d7b Next step of true unicode filenames: Use support::FileName instead of
std::string at many places (not all yet).

* The public face of the graphics cache.
*
* * The user supplies an image file and the display parameters.
* * He can change the file or the display parameters through a reset() method.
* * He must start the loading process explicitly with startLoading().
* * If he is connected through the connect() method, then he'll be informed
* when the loading status changes.
* * When (status() == Ready), he can use image() to access the loaded image
* and pass it to the Painter.
*
* What could be simpler?
