MSVC7 Solution file. The main entry for MSVC7. Project files will follow shortly.

* Updated the naming convention for some functions. I forgot those the last
time.
* Created the M_ObjectCheckPyObject and M_ObjectFromPyObject functions. These
are needed for interfacing to other modules.
* The Object methods have been created. Not all of them are implemented yet.

* Added Blender.Curve submodule, written by Jacques Guignot (guignot):
Jacques contributed a new module to exppython, one that isn't available
in the current 2.27 API. Welcome, guignot : ).

* Added submodule NMesh:
Partially implemented. Most of it comes from opy_nmesh.c, plus needed
changes to integrate in into exppython.
* Added helper submodule vector, needed by NMesh.
* Minor changes in other files.

Fixed nasty issue when aborting Quicktime rendering.

reverted to 2.27 original fontcoloring method
reverted to patched ftgl library.

speed improvements were not really noticable.

Seeing all comments on the interface slowdown, I decided to try a different
approach for the coloring of interface texts. Currently two seperate fonts get
generated, one black and one white, which eliminates the glPixelTransfer
command. (which assumably caused the huge slowdowns)

Please try, and post your experiences on the interface drawing speed.
NOTE: for this new method you need the *unmodified* FTGL library:

Apologies on any inconveniences...

- Copy the font and .Blanguages into the end result

updated release makefiles and self installer script for windows

- Remove duplicates from po files
- Provide debug target
- Run msgfmt on all but fi.po

Irix doesn't like 'cp -a' for recursive copying

- updated iff.h, for compatibility with blender itself
this fixes zbuffer reading for plugins again

just translated imbuf struct

doubled the size of the string to be translated, which fixes
the italian mo crash.

don't crash when adding an object after the previously selected object
has been deleted (thanks to Bischofftep for pointing this out)

.mo files were created in the wrong directory on os x (d'oh!)

use $(NANBLENDERHOME) instead of ../..

Added some comments on FTGL

Kent

revert to previous version, as starting blender maximized on os x doesn't
seem to be ready for prime time yet

fixed some more screenupdate issues and eliminated a crash
when trying tio shear/warp not visible objects. (thanks Matt)
