Update GUI for transmission

[scottmc]

Transmission used to have a GUI interface on BeOS, but that has fallen way behind rev, so a new GUI would need to be made to bring it up to date. For now there is a web interface for it.

Transmission includes an RPC for coomunicating with the transmission-daemon.  http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/rpc this could be used by non c or c++ devs to create a more native GUI

Need to update transmission to latest released version, plus add a bep to build latest svn version. GCI2012 student Gleb Posobin work on this task to re-add the GUI to transmission:
 http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7953205

It needs to be fully reviewed and applied if ok, and eventually upstreamed. Any takers?
The work is attached to the GCI task page and includes .beps for 2.75 and a diff for the GUI changes.

Quoting  Jordan:

This is pretty awesome, but I'm not sure what you intend here -- are you wanting to maintain this over the long term?

I don't even know how we'd build binaries for new releases.

IMO it would be better to keep this on a third-party page as the Transmission-Qt for Windows project does on ​ http://sourceforge.net/projects/trqtw/

That said, I'm very happy to work with you, just as I've worked with rb07 from trqtw, on any compatibility issues in libtransmission.

Thanks for writing this!
