Easy enough for Junior Job. Caveat: Need to continue to support
loading files containing the "ou" spelling for backward compatibility.

Mixup spelling in xml scheme proposed patch

Hello,

here is my proposed patch for this bug (KDE 3.5 svn branch). Changed *colour to
*color in UMLWidget::saveToXMI , and in loadFromXMI first try to retrieve old
british  spelling to keep backward compatibility, then try with the american
one .

Tested on very simple project file (2 classes with colors changed) which used
the old mixup scheme, loaded correctly, then saved again, .xmi is then
consistent with only *color as expected.

I hope i did not miss more *colour attributes in other source files.

Cheers,

Michael
