* Redraw the 3d view only when importing. (Not all windows)
* Select all verts at once rather then 1 by 1.
* dont print polygons when importing. (Would be better to use the progress bar for this)
- A few imported .ac models had wrong uv's, as reported by Melchior Franz (thanks). Well known reason: the vertex indices order in new faces is rearranged if the 3rd or 4th vindex is equal to 0, because of how Blender checks for tris/quads.
Fixing with that old trick of adding a vertex at index 0 in mesh.verts, adding 1 to each face vertex index, then removing the extra vertex after the model has been imported.
- Minor updates to the ac3d importer to support bad files (with more data than reported, this time) and properly handle texture paths with win separators ('\') and spaces. Again, thanks Melchior Franz for testing and reporting.
- Fixing bug #5950 reported by Stewart Andreason (thanks):
http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=5950&group_id=9
Importing .ac models created Blender objects with user count equal to 2, instead of 1 (so they couldn't be deleted in Blender), because the script kept a second reference to each created Blender object and so Python didn't deallocate things properly at the end of the script.
Now these extra references are deleted in the script, preventing the problem. But this is surely something to fix in the API itself.
* moved from NMesh to Mesh
* added more error checking.
* tested with 1660 lightwave models
* faster dictionary usage.
BPyImage - disallowed recursive searching of '/' or a windows drive letter.
Mesh - removing UV or Color layers didnt check if the active object was in vpaint of uv mode, removing the last layer could crash blender - now switch to object mode if its the last layer like the UI.
- Making the ac3d importer discard bad faces in the imported model (faces that reference a vertex index more than once). Thanks Melchior Franz for reporting this one, too.
3ds_import - added option to disable recursive image searching (could be slow somtimes)
export_obj - when making group/object names only use both object and mesh name when they differ.
weightpaint_clean, weightpaint_grow_shrink - minor updates.
Render.py - own error in epydocs.
disp_paint.py - Displacement modifier and sculpt mode replace.
uv_paint.py - making can be used to write colors to an image.
animation_empties2armature.py - Was made when BVH importer could not import direct to armature, Resulting animation has visible errors, errors have been known about for a long time and not fixed.
knife.py - Old slow code, No Multi-UV's, We now have a knife tool that has snap!
If anyone wants to maintain these scripts and have them added back in, mail the bf-python ML.
Scripts that are removed can be found here.

- Fixed a few bugs in the ac3d importer, found by Melchior Franz (thanks!). Also automatically turning on ztransp for materials with alpha < 1.0 and then also transp shadows for all imported materials.
* moved from NMesh to Mesh
* made newstyle classes (use less memory)
* optimized mesh creation
* Animation now imports and plays (Bugfix for 5834)
+ other small tweaks
Added mesh.key - was missing from docs
basic workings are the same but its generaly more efficient.
The main problem was it could get the data from every object across all scenes!
This means that on framechange, every mesh would be copied into an NMesh just to see the type was a camera.
* fixed errors with Null materials
* faster material exporting
* export with modifiers applied
* faces with invalid material indicies work now (maybe should be delt with in the Py API)
* removed per vert col code since all colors are pre face now.
removed image support, Blender could import but not 3dsmax :/ - even managed to get 3dsdump to report a blender and max file to have the same data but max still dosnt like.
Also made some changes
- fly mode keys have changed and added snap key
- using "i=list.index(val)" is slow, use "for i,val in enumerate(list)" instead.
- dont use "i in range(start, end)" - silly to make a list when you can do "min < val < max"
JMS, please update from this version.
