Export function of OOM-file plus background templates #953

As a suggestion of improvement:

Quite often I am working with a OOM maps that contains a lot of background images and/or data. For example a lot of Karttapullautin outputs, LAStools outputs, satellite imagery and so on. But difficulties occurs then "sharing" the map to somebody else...! It is a pity to locate all added background files and put everything together in a new specific folder, and re-locate those background files in the OOM file.

My suggestion is then to have a "export map project" function, that collects all the backgrounds (incl. "world"-files) and the OOM map itself, and let the user specify location where it should be exported. The background files should be stored in a subfolder of the chosen export folder, named for instans 'backgrounds'.

If I had skills in software developing I had already done it myself, but unfortunately this is not the case. Would be very thankful if somebody could give it a try.

As for me, its not too hard add function for "Save to --> OpenOrienterring Mapper + templates (.zmap)", where .zmap is simple ZIP archive that include main .omap file + all files used as template.

@dg0yt, its mostly look like feature request for "project" file type for OpenOrienteering Mapper, that reasonable feature as for me.
