Summary: Open recent files on the menu

Initial Comment:
This patch adds an "Open Recent" menu to keep track of most recently used files (up to 6). Almost everything that could be opened by menus, command-line and drag&drop operations, and later able to be opened with utils_open_file().

These links need persistence between sessions, so they are stored in the settings file (keeping care of autosaving flag).

On widget UIs, I haven't see a way to dynamically build submenus, so I use a selection dialog that does pretty much the same thing.

On GTK+ UI, the GtkUIManager does a nice job merging and unmerging portions of UIs. There is a GtkRecentManager object that manage the persistence and nicely integrates with desktop managers, but it would need mime-types and libgio so I have shelved for now.

Also has been implemented on win32 UI.

Opinions would be greatly appreciated.
