* This patch adds a influence slider for the lattice modifier, which affects the strength of the deformation.
Patch by Patrick Boelens (senshi), thanks a lot!
the curve modifier was applying the offet between the mesh and the curve object twice.
for positive axis it was (offset+offser), for neg axis (offset-offset) --- giving no offset,
in both cases not very useful.
inconsistent with similar functions & math notation:
mul_m4_m4m4(R, B, A) => mult_m4_m4m4(R, A, B)
mul_m3_m3m4(R, B, A) => mult_m3_m3m4(R, A, B)
For branch maintainers, it should be relatively simple to fix things manually,
it's also possible run this script after merging to do automatic replacement:

- remove unneeded type check from convert grease pencil operator.
- correct some error prints & use __func__.
- make copy_libblock take an ID* argument rather than void*.
so path manipulation functions dont run multiple times on the same path in the case of sequence strips where the one directory is used as the base for many images.
- making local object data - Curve/Mesh/MBall lost references to linked materials.
- joining a linked mesh object into a local one lost the link.
As well as these reported bugs, checked all local functions for consistency/correctness and found other cases which would also fail.
- making local metaball didn't ensure unique ID name.
- make_local_armature() was missing check for object users - main body of code would never run.
- local particles didn't set the dupli-group or textures to extern.
checked all local functions for consistency/correctness.
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
This allows manual (point by point) animation of their control verts,
although many other settings cannot really be animated with any
visible effects yet. Interestingly, lattices also had IPO block
pointers, though they were never really used (AFAIK).
Todo:
- Animation Editor support has yet to be added. I've got a few other
things to add to, so will group those changes together.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
more of a request then a bug but shows up a strange limitation with curve deform modifier,
The mesh bounding box would set the deform axis start/end to map the deformation of the curve to. This means it ignored offset in the object location and object data location (you could use a dummy vertex to trick it).
Old files wont change, added an option (next to stretch), called 'Bounds Clamp', old files have this behavior but newly made curves have it disabled.
Double checked this gives useful results with stretch on/off and negative axis.
A subtle change with the curve deform modifier is when a vgroup is used: the mesh bounds were being calculated based on the verts in the group (ignoring their weight).
Now ignore verts weighted at 0.
Fix#21187: 2.5svn26947 - particles + meta sphere = crash in rendering
Use separated displists for mballs in view3d and render stuff.
Do not recalculate displist for view3d while rendering - mball.c
uses several global variables which shouldn't be accepted from
parallel threads.
