Implemented an Evolution::Activity interface for keeping track of

background tasks.  The Activity interface is added to the shell, and
the status of the various tasks is now displayed in a task bar widget
at the bottom of the EShellView.

I also implemented a simple test component to test all this stuff.

+
+	* GNOME_Evolution_TestComponent.oafinfo: New OAF file for the test
+	component.
+
+	* evolution-test-component.c: New component, currently to test the
+	activity interfaces.  We will be able use it for testing more
+	things in the future.
+
+	* e-shell.c: New member `activity_handler' in `EShellViewPrivate'.
+	(init): Init here.
+	(class_init): Unref.
+	(setup_activity_interface): New helper function to create an
+	`EActivityHandler' object and aggregate it to the `EShell'.
+	(e_shell_construct): Call here.
+	(e_shell_new_view): Attach the task bar of the newly created view
+	to the activity handler by using
+	`e_activity_handler_attach_task_bar()'.
+
+	* e-shell-view.c: Removed old progress bar code.  New members
+	`status_bar' and `task_bar' in EShellViewPrivagte; removed member
+	`progress_bar'.
+	(init): Initialize the new fields; remove initialization for
+	`progress_bar'.
