| Provides an easy way to integrate external apps in Columba.
This includes a first-time assistant for the user. And a configuration file
"external_tools.xml" to store the options of the external tools.
When using external commandline (already used examples are aspell and GnuPG)
tools, you should just use this handler to get the location of the
executable.
If the executable wasn't configured, yet a wizard will assist the user in
configuring the external tool. If everything is correctly configured, it will
just return the path of the commandline tool as File.
File file = getLocationOfExternalTool("gpg");
