NaN makefile fix for yafray dir and typo corrected on "xml" button tooltip

These are changes necessary for building with msvc in a near future.
Just making sure memory is always allocated and freed in the same
binary object, which seems to be mandatory on msvc if you don't have
the comercial version. If you are using this code you need to
syncronize with yafray cvs also, or it won't work. Binaries for os x
are updated in the link I gave in my last commit.

added files for yafray plugin export to msvc 6 projectfiles

Added Panel support in Sequence window, and converted old Nkey menu for it.

New export through plugin scheme for yafray. It is working on linux and mac os x
Needs latest yafray, you can get it from cvs, but I have also binaries
for os x here:

http://www.coala.uniovi.es/~jandro/noname/downloads/yafray-0.0.6-3.pkg.zip

To use it, go to yafray panels (global settings) and uncheck the "xml" button.
That would tell the export code to avoid xml export and use the yafray plugin
instead. You'll see the render being draw while running and you can even stop it
with ESC key.

Since I'm sure problems will appear, expect updates soon.
Remember: does not work on win32

Restored oldstyle zoom in/out, and added a new userpref for denoting zoom
types:

- Continue: is default, old style
- Dolly: is like previous, but not continuous
- Scale: is the new method. Name is based on fact it scales view

Replace all glFinish() with glFlush().

This is supposed to fix gradual slowdown of Blender interface on ATI cards.

- New Blender.Draw method by Campbell Barton (Cam / ideasman):
PupStrInput, a wrapper for the Blender String popup (thanks!)
- Fixed bug #1374 reported by Gabriel Beloin (gabio, thanks too):
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1374&group_id=9
There was a minor mistake in the import menu: vrml called dxf and vice-versa and shortcuts were wrong (removed them).
- Doc updates, minor updates elsewhere.

updated documentation

- some bug fix: some vert tVerts and normals are seperated by

1/2/3 OR 1//2//3

- some files for testing could be found at: http://e-learning.vslib.cz/hnidek/misc/objs/

- New script:
Wim Van Hoydonck contributed the famous Knife script (put under Modifiers group) developed by Stefano Selleri and himself (thank to both!)
- Added helper function Blender.sys.makename, updated docs and script ac3d_export to use it (shall update other exporters too):
this function is just a simple helper to format a filename as needed (change extension, strip dirname, it defaults to use G.sce as path).
- Added a test method: Blender.Scene.getScriptlinks(eventName):
just testing, if this path proves useful other functions will be added and made general, for objects, etc.

- Campbell Barton's (AKA Ideasman) obj importer script (some split improvements)
- I added support of material and texture import (.mtl files) Textures are assigned to faces and materials too.

rewind of previous commit as some experiment bad problems.

This means that bug #1292 is alive again unless you define MT_NDEBUG
which I doubt many do.

* Floating panel cosmetic tweaks

* Minor language/label cleanups I missed first time around.

added a [get/set]Range function.
Updated documentation accordingly.
(suggested by Stephane SOPPERA, tks!)

updated Metaball doc

added a new function to the Metaball module, (tks Jiri!) : getMetaElemList
added a new class : metaelem class

changed MT_NDEBUG macro to a MT_DEBUG one and reversed defines
So now by default, assert is not used in moto code.

If you want to use assert (and stop blender if one fail),
define MT_DEBUG.

solve bug #1292 and better fix for #1260

Bug 1335

Displace mapping + Map-Input using Object wasn't working. This caused
by the inverse matrix of an Object potentially not being calculated when
displace was calculated.

Solved by moving imat calculus to the top of the main function.

Yafray note: the convention to hack out all transformations from
renderconverter could be implemented more elegant, by moving this to
the yafray section (and just matrix-transform back). Makes code less
unreadable, but also support displacement then (and might solve other
errors).

Bug 1349

Envmap render error; when no (f10) envmap option was used, it could give
a 'stripe' effect based on a non-initialized global value. Only happens
for transparant layers...
