Status:

I've implemented the "Plan B" file_chooser() replacement for 
file_selection() (using GtkFileChooserDialog) and it seems to work quite 
nicely.

It centralizes all the file-chooser stuff in one place so the callers no 
longer need code to do things like checking if the file exists, checking 
if a directory was entered, updating the "last directory used", killing 
the file-chooser dialog & etc.

The new file_chooser code also works in a way similar to the old 
original file_selection code in that gtk_dialog_run is not used.

This means that, if desired, alert boxes (simple_dialogs) can be used 
with a file-chooser dialog such that focus can return to the 
file-chooser dialog when the alert box is dismissed.

I've some amount of integration and testing yet to do; I expect I'll be 
ready to commit the changes in a week or two (after the upcoming release).
