 * This class manages highscores and players entries (several players can
 * share the same highscores list if the libkdegame library is built to
 * support a common highscores file; NOTE that to correctly implement such
 * feature we probably need a locking mechanism in @ref KHighscore).
 *
 * You need one instance of this class during the application lifetime ; in
 * main() just insert 
 * \code
 *   KExtHighscore::Manager highscoresManager;
 * \endcode
 * with the needed arguments. Use the derived class if you need to
 * reimplement some of the default methods.
 *
 * This class has three functions :
 * <ul>
 * <li> Update the highscores list when new entries are submitted </li>
 * <li> Display the highscores list and the players list </li>
 * <li> Send query to an optionnal web server to support world-wide
 *      highscores </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * The highscores and the players lists contain several items described by
 * the @ref Item class.
 *
 * The highscores list contains by default :
 * <ul>
 * <li> the player name (automatically set from the config value)</li>
 * <li> the score value </li>
 * <li> the time and date of the highscore (automatically set) </li>
 * </ul>
 * You can replace the score item (for e.g. displaying it differently) with
 * setScoreItem or add an item with addScoreItem.
 *
 * The players list contains :
 * <ul>
 * <li> the player name (as defined by the user in the configuration
 *      dialog) </li>
 * <li> the number of games played </li>
 * <li> the mean score </li>
 * <li> the best score </li>
 * <li> the best score time and date </li>
 * <li> the player comment (as defined by the user in the
 *      configuration dialog) </li>
 * </ul>
 * You can replace the best score and the mean score items
 * by calling setPlayerItem.
 *
 * To submit a new score at game end, just construct a Score, set the
 * score data and then call submitScore().
 * \code
 *     KExtHighscore::Score score(KExtHighscore::Won);
 *     score.setScore(myScore);
 *     KExtHighscore::submitScore(score, widget);
 * \endcode
 * You only need to set the score value with Score::setScore()
 * and the value of the items that you have optionnally added
 * with Score::setData() ; player name and date are set automatically.
