* Added support for sending notifiers and updates when setting
RNA properties. Per property, there is a notifier NC_/ND_ flag,
and a function that is called. Currently only used for
Object.loc/rot/size.
* RNA_property_update that does this is not automatically called
in every _set function, it has do be done separate, and is being
done by buttons with RNA data.
* Perhaps for python there could be a trick to accumulate these
flags rather than update each time, though for now the python
RNA code could just do them everytime. Did not add these calls
in the python code yet because it needs context, not sure where
to get that from?
* Made auto collection wrapping work for ** arrays.
(Mesh.mats, still points to ID since there is no Material yet).
* Added sorting of RNA structs/properties before writing.
* Disable editable pointers for now, difficult to support well.
* Swap parameters in RNA_access.h functions to make it more
consistent.
* Rename rna members for operators to wmOperatorType.srna, and
wmOperator.ptr, to make the distincton a bit clearer.
• Removed the RNA_int_default and similar functions, they're too
confusing. RNA_property_is_set can still be used to achieve
the same goal.
* Add functions to create RNA pointers.
Some example code for RNA data access and operator properties:

* merge the recent scons changes from trunk, so this means that the same rules now apply:
- scons-local available
- platform default configs updated
- check your user-config.py if you have made a full copy of default config
Note: BGE and blenderplayer still not working, but that is normal ;) (so turn them off!)
* Added more error prints for wrong definitions, for cases that
would laters cause problems compiling or crash at runtime, and
also made messages more clear.
* Added some skeleton code for main/ID/mesh/vertex types for testing.
* Added support for automatic arrays as collections using SDNA.
* Changed how pointers to data work. Now they are always wrapped
in a PointerRNA struct, which contains the data pointer and type,
and also the data pointer and type of the ID datablock that this
belongs to, since for example a vertex on it's own may not have
enough information for some operations, it also needs the mesh.
* Added some code for defining dependencies with RNA, and looking up
data with paths like: scenes[0].objects["Cube"].data.verts[7].co.
Note sure either will end up being used, this is experimental.

This is the first code for the Data API, also known as RNA system in the
2.5 Branch. It does not include a user interface, and only wraps some
Scene properties for testing. It is integrated with Scons and Makefiles,
and compiles a 'makesrna' program that generates an RNA.c file.

The changes are quite local, basically adding a makesrna module which
works similar to the makesdna module. The one external change is in
moving genfile.c from blenloader to the makesdna module, so that it can
be reused by the RNA code. This also meant changing the DNA makefiles.
It seems to be doing dependencies correct still in my tests, but if
there is an issue with the DNA not being rebuilt this commit might be
the one causing it. Also it seems for scons the makesdna and makesrna
modules are compiling without warnings. Not a new issue but this should
be fixed.
The RNA code supports all types as defined in the Data API design, so
in that sense it is fairly complete and I hope that aspect will not
have to change much. Some obviously missing parts are context related
code, notify() functions for updates and user defined / ID properties.
