Is there a chance to include these stacking file tabs into next SVN version of TheIDE?

If you want to try it out now, I've just added a QuickTabs wrapper package to the bazaar. It's very easy to add:

1- Get latest SVN (1280+ is needed)
2- Replace uppsrc/ide/QuickTabs with bazaar/QuickTabs (copying over it is ok)
3- Before compiling TheIde add the bazaar assembly to the uppsrc assembly (right click uppsrc->Edit assembly, add path to bazaar in top edit box)
4- Compile TheIde

I tried it now, and after some fiddling it compiled. the major difficulty was to realize that I need to change in ide.h the include-statement for QuickTabs: instead of ide/QuickTabs/QuickTabs.h, it should be without the ide/ -- QuickTabs/QuickTabs.h alone.

for completeness: the error with missing "<<=" I fixed by removing the "=", i.e. I used the "<<" operator. "OnSettingsMenu" I replaced with "SettingsMenu" and "THISBACK1" in the error-yielding lines I replaced with "THISBACK" and the erronous "tn" I changed to "fn". I also remember that I had to remove some "&" from the parameters of a function-declaration taking wstrings as argument because wstring is pickable and somewhere the function was fed with temporatry wstrings (but I suspect that a constant wstring& would have solved the problem too). ".ToWString" I have not seen among the errors. my google-svn version is 1303. there's also an error in the ide itself: SerializeTabs is undefined. I'm not sure what to do with it. for now I commented out these commands and reduced the serialization-version to 8. I hope someone will port the Tab-Serialization to TabBars (as opposed to FileTabs or QuickTabs)...
