* Cleaned up dead code, removed all traces of socket selection
* Modified border select so it's possible to have border select on mouse tweak.
With this change, by default, click+dragging on a node will select and move it,
but click+dragging on empty space will border select.
This works with operator properties - if you pass the name of a scene and renderlayer to
the screen.render operator, it will render that layer as a single layer re-render.
for drivers, which will cause files that include drivers and saved since
then to crash on load, and loading existing files to crash as well. This
commit fixes that problem. So, don't use builds from revision 25736-25743.
The problem is this line, SDNA does not support parsing #defines:
DriverTarget targets[MAX_DRIVER_TARGETS];
Also, forgot to mention in previous commit that I tweaked the path-renaming code to only rename driver targets that were being used, and commenting out some code there that wouldn't work...
* Fixed Driver version-patching code to work correctly again with the new system.
* Fix for bug #20484, by adding a new driver variable type ('Transform Channel') which makes it easier to use object/bone transforms as in the past. The main differences with using this (compared with the 'Single Prop' type) are that this allows for 'final' transforms to get used instead (i.e. constraints are also taken into account), and also that this variable type can only be used for transforms (more limited scope -> less flexibility -> point-n-click goodies can follow). Mancandy now loads correctly again.
* Added toggle for local vs worldspace transforms when working with Rot/Loc Diff variable types, and also for the newly added Transform Channel
* Removed some dead code from sequencer...
Brecht and I took a fair bit of convincing on this one however Cessen was jumping through hoops to do without this feature.
Having the shape being an external mesh deformed by its own armature, which were both hidden but in the same layer *(so the depgraph would update them).
Without this some of the bones in the rig also dont make much sense when animating with.
Now it automatically decides how to connect the nodes up, based on the node positions. This lets you do fun stuff like in this video: http://www.vimeo.com/8548698
Correct hierarchy of terminology should be:
* Window (OS level window with borders)
* Area (top level subdivision in Blender UI), containing an
* Editor (actual UI functionality such as 3D View, Properties)
* Region (subdivision of an area, i.e. a header, a properties panel or toolbar)

Highlights:
* Support for Multi-Target Variables
This was the main reason for this recode. Previously, variables could only be used to give some RNA property used as an input source to the driver a name. However, this meant that effects such as Rotational Difference couldn't be used in conjunction with other effects and/or settings to achieve the powerful results. Now, a variable can take several input targets, perform some interesting operations on them, and spit out a representative value based on that.
* New Variable Types
With the introduction of multi-target variables, there are now 3 types of variable that can be used: single property (i.e. the only type previously), Rotational Difference (angle between two bones), and Distance (distance between two objects or bones).
* New Driver Types
In addition to the existing 'Average', 'Sum', and 'Expression' types, there is now the additional options of 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'. These take the smallest/largest value that one of the variables evaluates to.
* Fix for Driver F-Curve colouring bug
Newly added drivers did not get automatically coloured in the Graph Editor properly. Was caused by inappropriate notifiers being used.
Notes:
* This commit breaks existing 2.5 files with drivers (in other words, they are lost forever).
* Rigify has been corrected to work with the new system. The PyAPI for accessing targets used for the variables could still be made nicer (using subclassing to directly access?), but that is left for later.
* Version patching for 2.49 files still needs to be put back in place.
Rotation operator now saves axis of rotation (when not using a constraint). Better for operator redo and tweak (would use a Z axis because of matrix init)
Also fix crash in Translation operator redo and tweak (rv3d is not always available).
* Fix#20482: grab brush + size pressure sensitivity don't work
together, disabled the pressure sensitivty for that case now.
* Fix for smooth brush messing up mesh sometimes, smooth factor
is now clamped to reasonable range.
* Fix#20449: smooth brush + mirror modifier could crash.
utility functions to find the groups and scenes this object is used in.
button to set the group location from the cursor (UI is horrible but not any nice place to add?)
smarp project would fail if there were linked meshes in the scene, made ID.tag ignore the library, so you can tag linked data since its only for tools to use.
normalize the vertex normal before setting and use inline vector functions.
Better solutions could be...
- use a tool to set mirror locations (did a script for this in 2.4x), then run this if locations get messed up..
- find the closest mirror vertex, would be slower
- have a configurable threshold.
