adff6aeb1c RNA: Generic Type Registration
The Python API to define Panels and Operators is based on subclassing,
this makes that system more generic, and based on RNA. Hopefully that
will make it easy to make various parts of Blender more extensible.

* The system simply uses RNA properties and functions and marks them
  with REGISTER to make them part of the type registration process.
  Additionally, the struct must provide a register/unregister callback
  to create/free the PanelType or similar.
* From the python side there were some small changes, mainly that
  registration now goes trough bpy.types.register instead of
  bpy.ui.addPanel.

* Only Panels have been wrapped this way now.  Check rna_ui.c to see
  how this code works. There's still some rough edges and possibilities
  to make it cleaner, though it works without any manual python code.
* Started some docs here:

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNATypeRegistration

* Also changed some RNA_property and RNA_struct functions to not
  require a PointerRNA anymore, where they were not required (which
  is actually the cause of most changed files).

6593bbaca2 2.5 - Groundwork for Adding/Removing Drivers
Drivers can now be Added/Removed from buttons using the D/Alt-D hotkeys, and also through the menu. Driver settings (i.e. the target) are not set by default. To set those, go to the Graph Editor (see notes).

Notes:
* Buildsystem maintainers - I've added a new file "editors/animation/drivers.c"
* Widget colours for the driven-setting indications are needed 
* To see the new drivers, go into Graph Editor -> "Drivers" mode. Currently, there's a little bug there which prevents editing of the new drivers.

3906a62cc1 2.5: Added basic insert/remove keyframes from UI buttons.
- I key over a button inserts a keyframe.
- Alt+I removes a keyframe.
- With right mouse button a menu with these options pops up.
- Buttons are colored green if the property is animated, yellow
  if it is on a keyframe. I followed the colors from the UI
  mockups, but the flicker on keyframes seems too distracting in
  practice?

- This only works for properties on the ID itself at the moment,
  path callbacks need to be filled in for all structs but mesh
  still.
- It doesn't work when you're over a related label, that needs to
  be made to work.
- I made it insert keyframes outside of any keyingset. Not sure
  how this is supposed to integrate?
