[Bf-committers] Append oprion proposal

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Nathan added library import features too (on cursor, active layers,  
etc), which appeared to be buggy and bad code... nice functionality is  
easy to think of, but not easy to code always.
This part of Blender is highly sensitive code which has to be *very*  
carefully watched.

If you use the Blender library option to use dynamic links, it already  
works like how you want it (no double imports). Wouldn't that be a much  
better setup for organizing complex projects?
