This commit adds a new operator that will compile the list of text
strips into an srt file. No positioning is supported yet but will
be added later.
The operator can be found in the effect panel in the strip properties.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

This reverts commit ec03ab021f.
Changing this since it looks like Mattieu does not really like the change.
Will be adding another way to tweak the directories
This patch includes the work done in the terrible consequencer branch
that hasn't been merged to master minus a few controversial and WIP
stuff, like strip parenting, new sequence data structs and cuddly
widgets.
What is included:
* Strip extensions only when slipping. It can very easily be made an
option but with a few strips with overlapping durations it makes view
too crowded and difficult to make out.
* Threaded waveform loading + code that restores waveforms on undo (not
used though, since sound_load recreates everything. There's a patch for
review D876)
* Toggle to enable backdrop in the strip sequence editor
* Toggle to easily turn on/off waveform display
* Snapping during transform on sequence boundaries. Snapping to start or
end of selection depends on position of mouse when invoking the operator
* Snapping of timeline indicator in sequencer to strip boundaries. To
use just press and hold ctrl while dragging.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D904
Brought back old tools "Remove Gap(s)" and "Insert Gap".
It's actually one of the first tools I ever coded for it in 90ies, so useful!
* Remove Gap(s)
This checks if there's no strip at a given position, and slides all strips
together to the left, until the gap is closed.
- BackSpace key, remove gap at current frame (or first gap at right of frame)
- SHIFT+BackSpace, remove all gaps at or to right of current frame.
* Insert Gap
Shifts all strips to right of current frame with 10 frames. (Amount can be
set in Toolbar redo panel).
This implements basic color grading modifiers in sequencer, supporting
color balance, RGB curves and HUE corrections.
Implementation is close to object modifiers, some details are there:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/SequencerModifiers
Modifiers supports multi-threaded calculation, masks and instant
parameter changes.
Also added cache for pre-processed image buffers for current frame,
so changing sequence properties does not require rendering of original
sequence (like rendering scene, loading file from disk and so)
Before this overlay would happen only for defined rectangle area,
now it's possible to show current / reference frames only, which
makes it possible to do more real slit view involving even displaying
frames on different monitors.
Still some work need to be done to clean interface up and support
displaying color information for reference shot.
space works again
This commit restores the support for using Grease Pencil in the Sequence Editor
image preview region, making it possible to scribble on footage for review
purposes again. Due to internal changes in how the Sequencer handles the image
drawing for this stuff (i.e. it is now fully based on View2D instead of trying
to implement its own little crazy offset+zoom stuff), a lot of the old code for
handling those offsets is no longer needed. Instead, one of the "standard" cases
is now used, and works quite well.
Bugfixes:
* View-space Grease Pencil drawing was done in wrong place (before view2d
restore)
* Grease Pencil entry in RNA had wrong/missing type
Credits:
* DingTo - initial patch/attempt at restoring support
* Aligorith - solved the "offset problems"
* Remove some non used *_button_register functions, panels are done in python.
* Remove do_node_region_buttons, was not used anymore.
Fix:
* Only show Grease Pencil panel in the Node editor, when there is a valid nodetree.
(also fixes special request from Ian for Mango)
Added operator to update actual content length of all selected strips.
Can be useful for scenes and movies as well after doing making changes to
scene/movie.
Can be improved further to deal better with cases when strip has got effect
and it's get reshuffled because of overlapping after changing it's length.
This adds movieclip input support to the sequencer, thereby making
undistorted and stabilized footage available without a seperate render step.
Also: removes some old cruft code from the sequencer:
* new_tstripdata wasn't used anymore
* StripElems were allocated for SCENE strips on full length, wasting memory
Added a comment, that hopefully makes things a little bit clearer:
StripElems are *only* usefull for MOVIE + IMAGE strips for all other strip
types one can set this pointer to NULL. (If that should cause otherwise
problems, then the code that doesn't check for NULL is to blame!)
added some missing functions too - which are not used yep but should be there for api completeness.
* CDDM_set_mloop
* CDDM_set_mpoly
* BLI_mempool_count
from Bastien Montagne (mont29)
Only applied Sequencer Select Grouped functionality - similar to the one in object mode, select strips based on type, time, data etc.
This patch adds:
* support for proxy building again (missing feature from Blender 2.49)
additionally to the way, Blender 2.49 worked, you can select several
strips at once and make Blender build proxies in the background (using
the job system)
Also a new thing: movie proxies are now build into AVI files, and
the proxy system is moved into ImBuf-library, so that other parts
of blender can also benefit from it.
* Timecode support: to fix seeking issues with files, that have
a) varying frame rates
b) very large GOP lengths
c) are broken inbetween
d) use different time code tracks
the proxy builder can now also build timecode indices, which are
used (optionally) for seeking.
For the first time, it is possible, to do frame exact seeking on
all file types.
* Support for different video-streams in one video file (can be
selected in sequencer, other parts of blender can also use it,
but UI has to be added accordingly)
* IMPORTANT: this patch *requires* ffmpeg 0.7 or newer, since
older versions don't support the pkt_pts field, that is essential
for building timecode indices.
Windows and Mac libs are already updated, Linux-users have to build
their own ffmpeg verions until distros keep up.
- add change data operator to strip panel next to image file properties since editing every image manually isnt really usable.
- added new sequencer operator "Clear Offsets" (Alt+O), useful to reset the start/end frames around the strip data.
mouse coords would with cont. grab would wrap at short.
use mouse coords as int rather then short.
this problem still happens on linux because of XTranslateCoordinates
