Ember

Integrate the Google Breakpad crash report system

Registered by Erik Ogenvik

Google has a crash reporting system called BreakPad. It can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/
It's licensed under the BSD license and is available for win32, linux and OSX.
It's main function is to allow for automatic reporting (backtrace, memdump and so on) of crashes, sent to a central location. This would help us find out why Ember crashes on some configurations (since it's always a hassle guaranteeing that all new advanced graphic effects will work on all configurations)

proper handling of sigsegv will allow to use gnome_segv and therefor gnome bug-buddy crash reporting system (also kde has similar system, probably they all are using google breakpad). // atorkhov
