Blender Git Loki

Exppython:
- Adding argv to the builtin sys Python module:
Currently only argv[0] is there. This fixes a weird error that can make
correct scripts fail.

- Split build/install info out from README into INSTALL
- Add information on the .blender dir
- Add some helpful links

* Fix crash in the getParent() and getTracked() methods of the Python API.
This crash was reported by Jean-Michel Soler (jms).
Problem was that I was trying to be a little too intelligent. I kept a
reference to created PyObjects which at some point apparently fails. Keeping
the object references is not necessary. Now we just create a new PyObject
when necessary and let Python handle the reference counts.

- patch provided by Jiri, to prevent polygonizer not to do metaballs
outside of the old boundbox of the Object.

it's a small fix, the code is still commented in... need further
work to find out why sometimes balls disappear

- Fixed bug #440, an error resulting from work at optimizing 'glflush'
calls.

Added a comment in the code why it happens... its about safely
escaping from buttons/blocks loops before loading a new file!

changed a return value for Irix compiler

Exppython:
- Fixed crash in NMesh:
When trying to rename newly created meshes, Blender would crash due to
invalid id->lib in new_id().

* Updated the Python API module documentation for Object.
Added a couple of examples for some functions.
* Fixed some small documentation problems with regards to the implementation.

Exppython:
- Update method scene.update():
To accept an optional parameter for a "full" update (using set_scene_bg()).
- Updated the docs accordingly.

* Updated the Python API module documentation for Object.
This module now contains a complete description - finally.

* Fixed crash when editing Ipo curves on Linux.
This problem only occurs on Linux with NVidia cards.
Fixed by Timo Mihaljov (noid).

* Fix problem that edge select hotkey doesn't work on Linux.
Edge select is now _only_ working with ctrl-alt-RMB. Patch provided by
Roel Spruit (Goofster).

Fix volume envelopes for audio strips, they now work in all spaces.

don't use QuickTime to load tga, png, and jpg images, as this causes
problems when trying to play a sequence of images (fixes bug #430)

removed unuseful function calls in BezTriple.[ch]
general cleaning of Ipocurve.c Ipocurve.h Ipo.h Ipo.c
updated doc

Exppython:
- Fixed bug #399:
Old bug on NMesh: segfault on NMesh.Face(vertexlist).
- Fixed bug #433:
"Typo" on Armature: bone's setQuat method was changing bone->head, not
bone->quat.

- added include path for imbuf (MSVC 6)

- interface.c doc

Irix mips3 build, Part 2

Ensuring that the build uses the rebuilt
mips3 libs.

Please test!

Exppython:
Text module: trying to get the filename attribute didn't check for NULL.
Reported by Stani Michiels. Fixed now.
