Summary0012499: [Proposal] Display versions of all libs used by Scribus
DescriptionShort summary: Help devs and testers by adding function that allows quick sharing Scribus version and dependencies/libs

Details:
The intention of this proposal is to help streamline the information gathering process for devs and testers who are troubleshooting issues for users. The idea is that the function (something super easy to access in the Scribus interface) will list:

* Scribus version# and revision#
* Local operating system version# (optional)
* Installed dependencies / libraries
** directory paths to said deps/libs installed on the system

We already have Scribus version and revision listed in those builds that are compiled with Cmake -DWANT_SVNVERSION=1 flag

So as an example for what the output would look like:

Scribus Version 1.4.5 SVN (19332)
Mac OS X 10.8.5
  Intel Core i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz | 8GB RAM
Dependencies Installed
  Qt 5.3.1 (Path /redacted/full/path/to/library)
  Python v2.7.8 (Path /redacted/full/path/to/library)
  JPEG v (Path /redacted/full/path/to/library)
  TIFF v (Path /redacted/full/path/to/library)
  Hunspell
  Podofo
  GMAGICK
  Poppler
  OSG (Not compiled)
  Scripter2 (Not compiled)

Maybe we can make CLI flag that prints this out to the console ?

Possible strong solution found for this feature: 0013398 specifically 0013398:0039229
CMake has a prebuild module called FeatureSummary
We could append all the enabled and disabled features to a file in the CMake configure stage and then reference said file when we build the program to pull the contents in to the Scribus GUI as a menu in preferences
Example 1, append everything to a file:

feature_summary(WHAT ALL
                FILENAME ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/all.log APPEND)

I've uploaded an example of how QGIS does it in their 'About' dialog (qgis-about-libs.png)
