Patch for gtk+-1.1.5, gtkfilesel.[ch],                  Roland Bock

Many programs can read just a few file formats, often with a certain
extension. So it would be nice to tell GtkFileSelection to display just the
files with the matching extension(s). This is not possible via 
gtk_file_selection_complete() as this function filters both directories and 
files, is valid only for the current directory and allows just for one 
filter (it is good for other things though).

This patch adds one function to the GtkFileSelection dialog:

gtk_file_selection_set_filter(GtkFileSelection *filesel,
			      gchar **filter,
			      gint numfilter);

When this function is called, filenames are compared to the filter(s) before
being displayed, until gtk_file_selection_set_filter is called again with
another or no filter or the dialog is destroyed. 
Example: If 

filter={"*.gif", ".jpg"}; numfilter=2;

the GtkFileSelectionDialog will display only GIF and JPEG Files. 

If the function is not called, the dialog does exactly the same as it has
done before using the patch.

Greetings,
Roland Bock
