Coded a new modifier, "Precision UV Interpolation",
that triangulates, subdivides, then uses brecht's mean
value interpolation to interpolate face data.
Textures on ngon faces get interpolated a bit nicer, in
other words (though concave cases, e.g. 'N', don't work very well).
Implemented a new "super knife". Activate with k. Holding CTRL
will allow extended cutting ala old lines mode. Confirm with enter
and escape. You cannot cancel, btw, you can only confirm (and undo
later if you want). Hopefully I'll support undo within the tool soon.
* Supports cutting edges, into faces, etc. You can pretty much do whatever
you want. Will snap to vertices too.
* Note that if you cut into a face, it must be valid topologically when
you press enter to confirm.
* It's pretty and graphical :)
* You can only cut visible geometry.
* UVs/vcols are a little buggy still
Now, thou shalt all cease and desist all lack of motivation for
testing! No longer shall users put off testing until "it's cooler"!
:P

First pass at post-merge stabilization. Seems to work well enough now, but
I need to do more testing. Also need to go through bmesh_class.h and make
sure the design/headers there make sense.
(though it's not completely feature-complete yet).
I ported over the remove doubles code from the
old bmesh branch for this, and split it into two
bmops, "Weld Verts" and "Remove Doubles".
Weld verts welds specific verts together, while remove
doubles finds doubles and welds them.
I also reverted the hotkey change I made earlier.
BMO_ITER macros to make defining iterator
loops easier. Moved some files around.
And also made the editmesh conversion functions
tesselate ngons to triangle fans, since it's
more stable for conversion, and editmeshes are
never displayed to the user anyway. And ported
akey to bmesh.
Next up I plan on adding face iterators to DerivedMesh,
since that's the last major chunk of major refactoring
left, I think, except perhaps the uv editor (at the
moment it's probably close to working, but it's still
converting to editmeshes for everything, which is very
bad).
