This is following a discussion I tried to setup in a previous mail:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=ef7d2ac633d93e87cd6f61722ad71cc2.squirrel%40mmp.sipr-dc.ucl.ac.be&forum_name=crystal-develop

The fact is that listeners are quite cumbersome to use, while a generic
event system allows for more adaptability of the code, especially in some
context such as the cseditor where there are many different plugins
communicating together.

It also allows more granularity in the registration of the events to be
listen to, eg registrating directly to all events generated by a category
of objects instead of having to register separately to every object.

That being said, I'm not at all against keeping the old listener system.
Mixing both systems is clearly not a good idea, then we can keep on with
the listeners.
