NLA & Action goodies;

-> Locked Strip length
When changing time of the animation curves in an Action, the strips in NLA
just remained the same length, causing very confusing situations.
By setting the strips to Locked (Nkey NLA window), it always updates the
strip length to make sure all keys are included, and not more. From now on
(not on old files) this is the default strip method.

-> ALT+C clear size
This menu has 2 options, the first clears the size, the 2nd remaps the
action (only when you didnt use the new Lock feature).
Both options are in the Pulldown menu too

-> Key drawing
The weird beveled button in Action/NLA didn't accurately show what time it
was actually on. I've replaced it with an Icon now, diamond shaped, in a
design derived from the TimeLine markers.

When you add new face with F key, then blender set up smoothness due to
smoothness of faces in neighbourhood. It tries to set up normal of new
face due to normals of faces in neigbourhood too.

btw: this coding was inspired by andy's tutorial at conf in Amsterdam.

Another missing .h file for fix for screen handlers

Missing include for screen handlers (had to move to kernel level)

This is a bit a patch... unforseen issue with the new Screen Handlers.
(Screen handler is used now to trigger animated screen).

When files get saved with Verse_Blender, it has the verse handler set,
which causes the handler system to run without a means to disable it with
release versions of Blender. This patch disables the Verse Handler to be
set on reading files.

Jiri; you will have to uncomment this code when you sync it with your tree!

CTRL+I, pose mode, added accidentally a location constraint, when having 2
Bones selected.

Camera visualisation changes and features (from tuho)

* Made the in-camera view dashed border lines less jarring
and disturbing. We will give it some testing here, feedback
is welcome.
* Showing the title safe zone is now an option in the
camera edit buttons. It's not very useful if you're not
making stuff for video/broadcast so you can turn it off.
* Passepartout is now a flag per camera, rather than per
scene. It never really belonged in the render buttons or as
Scene data, though it could be up for debate whether it's
better as camera data or view data (i.e. in the view
properties panel). Old files get converted over nicely with
this so if you had passepartout on before, it stays on the
cameras.
* Added an option to show the current camera's name at
the bottom of the in-camera view, to help keep track of
which one you're seeing when using multiple cameras.
* In the 3D View (non-camera view) the active camera is
drawn with a solid line as before, while non-active
cameras are drawn with a dashed line, to help visualise
which one is active.

I hope this commit finally fixes loading of .blend files with text objects
that had been converted to curve with ALT-C.

Should fix bugs 2973 and 3269. Thanks Ken Hughes for a pointer into the
right direction.

More Orange NLA/Action fixes;

- NLA: Hotkey ALT+S resets (synchs) action start/end in selected Strips
- NLA: Panel for Strips allow setting negative "Action start"
- NLA: When transforming strips, the selected keys for that action don't
get included (caused weird errors)
- Action: cleanup of drawing horizontal bars.
- Action: Pulldown menu option "Lock time" was in different location than
for the other pulldowns

Orange bugreport:

The new "lock time" option for ipo/action/nla/time/sound windows did not
work proper... it could accidentally activate other windows, confusing the
2d settings.

Orange bugfix;

Border select in Action window didn't get corrected for NLA time.

Orange bugfixes in NLA editor;

- ALT+C "convert action into strip" didn't calculate the mouse position
correct. Also changed menu a bit to tell which action it makes a strip
- Select action strips now activates Object too
- Icons in Object 'row' (denoting NLA override or not) now draw blended

Default openGL material had a tiny ambient set, causing black to be not
black really! :)

Fix for vertex/weight paint, so it evaluates the subsurfed vertices for
applying paint. (Until now it used non-subsurfed vertices).

- make getMeshDerivedMesh() initialize flag setting for new vertices (needed
for BPy Mesh to get derived mesh data)

-Bugfix #3207: ALT-C on a mesh with modifiers would cause memory corruption.
We make a copy of the mesh and perform operations on the new object using
mesh_create_derived_no_deform() for the new object instead of the
original.

Would be really nice if Daniel would look this over to see if it's really
fixed, or if I've just moved the problem somewhere else. :-) I'm leaving
the bug report open until the fixed is verified.

Python API Additions

New
Ipo Drivers access in IpoCurve
key.getChannelIpo(index) returns the ipocurve of a given shape index

Docs included for usage :)

* fixed a problem where you couldn't select a timeline
marker on a frame < 0. Weirdly enough, it seemed to be
deliberate, with the line:
if(cfra < MINFRAME) cfra= MINFRAME; )

I removed this, but if whoever wrote it has a good
reason why it should be there, please let me know!

- hopefully fixed osx compilation by forcing compilation
with a single file again (intern/elbeem/intern/solver_main.cpp
includes intern/elbeem/intern/solver_init.cpp and
intern/elbeem/intern/solver_util.cpp when __APPLE_CC__ is defined)
- minor cleanup of inlined functions

Disabled CrazySpace when 'proportional edit' is on... I discovered both use
the eve->vn pointer to store temporal data. Need a better solution, do it
later. This just prevents crashing!
