Night Mode shader

[Alexander Wolf]

Current implementation of Night Mode feature has shaders inside QML scene, who based on QtQuick v1 technology. Qt 5.2 on Windows and OS X doesn't find Qt.labs.shaders and give application's crash or white screen mode.

I don't have my mac with me these days. I will check that next week when I come back from holidays.

I finally tested on my Mac mini, using the last release of Qt (5.2.0)

Here the night mode works, albeit extremely slowly. I get around 2 fps. I am going to make some more tests to find if the problem comes from stellarium or Qt.

Guillaume, how are you running? On all three of my Mac's, Stellarium is not completely unusable. This is due to the labs.Shaders not being found (unless run from Creator), and a serious bug in QDir (which I can work around). But when run from Creator, the sky is totally broken, and it sig's every time run from the command line.

This is what I see on my Mac's. Trunk code.

O.K., my sky issue was that a texture was being expected, and it wasn't there. I've added that, and now the sky is fine.

I still can not run from command line, due to the qml issues.

This issue related to wrong deployment QML-stuff on those platforms. For Windows I made a fix, now we should make a fix for OS X.
