Summary:
This completly changes the way modal numinput is handled. Now, edited expression is a string, which then gets unit- and py-evaluated to get a float value.
We gain many power and flexibility, but lose a few "shortcuts" like '-' to negate, or '/' to inverse (if they are really needed, we still can add them with modifiers, like e.g. ctrl-/ or so).
Features:
- units (cm, ", deg, etc.).
- basic operations from python/BKE_unit (+, *, **, etc.), and math constants and functions (pi, sin, etc.).
- you can navigate in edited value (left/right key, ctrl to move by block) and insert/delete chars, e.g. to fix a typo without having to rewrite everything.
- you can go to next/previous value with (ctrl-)TAB key.
- As before, hitting backspace after having deleted all leading chars will first reset the edited value to init state, and on second press, the whole "modal numinput" editing will be cancelled, going back to usual transform with mouse.
Notes:
- Did not touch to how values are shown in header when modal numinput is not enabled (would do that in another commit), so this is still quite inconsistent.
- Added back radian support in BKE_unit.
- Added arcminute/arcsecond to BKE_unit.
(those unit changes affect all angle UI controls, btw, so you can now enter radians or longitude/latitude values when in degrees units).

Thanks everybody!
Differential Revision: http://developer.blender.org/D61
* Drag'n'drop translation in Outliner
* "Execute" button in file window
* "Labels" of spacing elements, in multi-column enums
* A glitch with nodes "Value to RGB", they where called "ColorRamp" in node_type_base() call. This is not definitive, though, as it appears that UI node names are determined by this call, while it should be by "defines" in rna_nodetrre_types.h, I guess... Anyway, not good to have such things in two different places!
Also moved default context name under BLF_translation.h, much better to have those all in one place, accessible from whole Blender code!
- RMB select, also with SHIFT
- RMB tweak for translate
- SHIFT+D dupli
- BKEY border select/deselect
- AKEY (de)select all
- XKEY delete
- GKEY grab
Added some XXX comments for future todos, especially for when other
spaces come back with time markers.
Also added ED_util for putting in all to-be-cleaned cruft
Context conflict: input methods for Markers can conflict with other
spacetypes. It was solved in pre-2.5 with manually tweaking it all over,
but I would prefer one keymap for all marker stuff. Needs some thinking...
could be solved with a boundbox check for bottom part of 2d window.
Tweak issue: both tweak styles are possible:
- Hold mouse button, move, operator ends on mouse release
- Hold mouse button, move, operator ends on mouse click
Problem is that modally handled operators use fixed keymaps... like ESC,
SPACE, ENTER, or press/release mousebutton for 'assign'. There's a lot
to say for making this all consistant, or become part of 1 general keymap?
Should also be possibe to define 'tweak' defaults for Tablet different
than for mouse...
