Previous state:
Right now, there are "memories" of the "old" (less than a month!) translation way:
* A few remaining calls to BLF_gettext() (only UI_translate_do_iface and UI_translate_do_tooltip should be used).
* The _() macro still also calls BLF_gettext()!
New state:
Here are the changes made by the patch:
* Removing the no more needed _() macro.
* Removing most N_() and _() calls, only keeping the few needed ones (i.e. strings that are in no other way findable by xgettext and/or update_msg script).
* Defining in UI_interface.h IFACE_() and TIP_() macros (resp. for UI_translate_do_iface and UI_translate_do_tooltip).
* Replacing all calls to BLF_gettext by relevant IFACE_ or TIP_ one.
* Replacing all calls to UI_translate_do_iface by IFACE_.
* Replacing all calls to UI_translate_do_tooltip by TIP_.
All this somewhat clarifies and simplifies the code.
On the bf-translations scripts side, this only implies adding IFACE_ and TIP_ as detection markers for xgettext.
It also allows to reduce POTFILES.in quite notably (only 20 files remaining in it).

- added API examples for mathutils.Color/Euler/Quaternion/Matrix.
- corrected own bad spelling matricies --> matrices.
- minor pep8 edits.
- update CMake ignore file list.
was infact a very old bug where an empty title took the following word for the title, eg: "%t|First Item|Second Item"
the first item would be evaluated as a title.
- use Py_ssize_t when dealing with python sequence sizes
- dont call PySequence_Size(py_b) in a loop (its slow).
- use faster sequence/float parsing in aud.Factory.filter
PyC_UnicodeAsByte(), used for getting python strings as bytes wasnt clearning utf-8 conversion errors.
this would raise an error when getting an operators filepath.
==============================================
Commiting GSoC project by Xiangquan Xiao trunk.
Applied as separated patch, because svn merge produces to much false
conflicts and worked really slow.
Details for usage would be published on code.blender.org soon.
Thanks to Xiao for implementation of project, Campbell to code review,
Dalai and Gez for pointing to nice font and everybody else who took
part in improving i18n support.
