there are some remove unused tabs also, that codeblocks did by itself, so i let them in.

The devPack plugin and the help plugin fail too to compile, but i did not fix them right now (the zlib library is the culprit). DevPack will be removed anyway...

any contradictions to move this to svn?

EDIT: NEVERMIND... I HAD THE C++ COMPILER SET TO COMPILE C CODE .... *headbang*
i let this here, if someone has the same error...
