NLA SoC: Adding skeleton code for a buttons region in NLA

If anyone's doing any testing at this point, please check if this works ok for files with new/old NLA Editors, as I was having some problems with one of my testing (saved from this branch) files with this.

2.5 RNA:

* Wrapped some image output settings (Tiff, Cineon, OpenEXR, Jpeg 2000 and DPX)

2.5

New preview.blend

2.5

Nice goodie: Preview renders!

- Added new preview.blend, allowing super wide cinemascope previews
- Draws nicely blended inside widget type, rounded corners
- Preview now renders using all available cpus/cores.
- Uses - hopefully rock stable - method, which doesn't copy or
allocate anything for previews, but just uses render API calls.
- Multiple previews are possible! But, added provision in Jobs
manager to only render one preview job at a time. If you start
more preview jobs, they're suspended until it's their turn.

Bugfix: new buttons context code crashed when going full-window.

Tweaks are still needed for notifiers. I have to figure out still
how to retrieve SpaceButs button view types...

NLA SoC: 2 little tweaks

- Evaluation times for strips are now strictly clamped to the endpoints of the strips - i.e. if a strip has 'extend' on, the strip's evaluation time won't continue to change as time changes

- New NLA Editor instances now have auto-snapping turned on by default (as they should)

NLA SoC: RNA wrapping for NLA Data

Most of the relevant properties have been wrapped.
- There are still some properties I'm not sure about whether they should be exposed at all (which have been left out for now). Most of these are really internal flags which are used in a few select places.
- To maintain the integrity of the settings, I've included some custom code for a few of the setters (i.e. scale/end-frame) where changing one should result in a change in the other and vica-versa.

Also, tweaked the wrapping for a few other types.

Another side effect of this commit is that I can now uncommented some code for using F-Curves to control the influence and time of the strips. These F-Curves would need to be specifically attached to the NLA-Strip they affect for now (TODO: I need to review this again...), and as such, cannot be used yet since there's no (end-user-accessible) way to do this :)

Bugfix to avoid crashing BGE on Mobile Intel GMA 950/945 Express GPU (2009 latest driver 6.14.10.4926 Windows XP)
Command-line option to disable vertexarrays in BGE:
-g novertexarrays

Basic exporter writing only vertices and faces converted to triangles.

Spen't lots of time debugging the misbehaving COLLADASW::URI
constructor. The problem is although I pass correct parameters to it,
the resulting file ends up having empty url attributes. It is either a
bug in OpenCollada or my code - couldn't figure this out.

Added BF_OPENCOLLADA_* and BF_PCRE_* scons settings to linux config.
OpenCollada and pcre are added as 3rd party libraries collada module
depends on.

I now build Blender with:
scons BF_DEBUG=1 BF_OPENCOLLADA_LIBPATH=/home/chin/src/opencollada/ BF_OPENCOLLADA=/home/chin/src/opencollada

Forgot to update this file. Constraints now go into the new constraint tab. :)

BGE VideoTexture: fix VideoFFmpeg range attribute + error message.

Patch/Bugfix so wind noise got controlable seed and therefore redoable cloth sims - bug reported by istvan

Bugfix for crash on constraints

Merged code passing context to python operator from soc-2009-kazanbas
branch.

Renamed "execu" python operator method back to "exec" - switched to
Python 3.0...

2.5 RNA:

* Deleted some wrong properties from the blend mode enum.

Small fix: use PyUnicode_FromString instead of PyString_FromString in
Python 3.x builds. PyString_FromString no longer exists in Python 3.x.

2.5 Interface:

* Added a constraint tab in the buttons window.

* Added more sequencer buttons (effect strips).
Note: Sequencer buttons will go into the sequencer itself (n-key Panel) later.

* Particle button tweaks by William Reynish. Thanks!

* Some RNA fixes and new properties.

2.5

Several usablity tweaks:

- Search menu allows ScrollWheel to view items

- Tooltip on button on bottom of window showed wrong
- Tooltips were popping up while draggin (MMB) or scrolling
(wheel). Now they stay away.

- Stolen from Gimp (blame venomgfx for hint!): ScrollWheel allows
to go over menu items and use number buttons, only on mouse-over.

Note for devs: the WM_event_add_mousemove() call (to add a fake
event to bring UI back alive after view changes) now works much
more reliably. It ensures the mouse move is only handled after all
notifiers/redraws were done.

DXF exporter: dxfLibrary.py update
v1.32 - 2009.06.06
- modif Style class: changed defaults to widthFactor=1.0, obliqueAngle=0.0
- modif Text class: alignment parameter reactivated
