Patch 3

NOTE: THE BINARIES ARE ONLY FOR DR1000 !!!

This is also a big hack, so this patch is less mature then 'normal', so my advise is to use it on the QEMU first. (Only the dare-devils should install it on their DR1000.)

The patch adds the following w.r.t. the previous patch (patch2):
- Order of all views configurable
- Tool to change tag from installation script (or other script)
- Settings-item to configure hidding (and order) of views

So the main difference between the previous one is the extra settings dialog. Go to Settings and find a new icon called 'Mackx Patch' (I still have to decent name for the patch...). Press it and a new settings window will appear. Its use is maybe not very intiutive so some explanation.
For every possible Icon in Home/Desktop a line is shown in the list with its 'position' and its name. Note that not all lines are relevant (i.e. lastread is only for DR800). Double clicking on a line will copy the position in the 'edit-box', there you can change the position and press the Set-button.
After you have made all your changes, press Save & Close to store all changes. Go back to Home and see the changes.

A position of 0 (zero) means that the icon will not be shown. All the items in the list are sorted using the position and in that order they will be shown in Home/Desktop.

Note I only installed it very recently on my DR, so use at your own risk!

My holiday is almost over, so I will be using my DR much more for reading again (and not for programming ;-) I will check what I still need to change for my day-to-day use. I still have to decide if I want to implement the 'auto-start-last-read-document' for this new firmware. Any suggestions are welcome.

(Updated _apply.sh to properly copy the new settings icon.)
