[Cin] Clips/Nested clips/Xml - new feature - best thing since sliced bread!

[daniel-cinelerra-gg at opayq.com]

This is great, thank you so much!

One bug I've found: if the path to the imported EDL is long, it gets
truncated.  It would be nice to have th option of giving our own names to
the nested EDLs, or if they would assume the name of the origin file (maybe
they already do, but it's being truncated in my case).
