[Bf-python] embedding timecode

[Johnny Matthews]

Ok, after building with the patch,

1. Start a new scene,
2. add a text object (it is called Font by default)
3. Add this script

------------------------------------------
import Blender

ob = Blender.Object.Get("Font")
txt = ob.getData()
txt.setText(Blender.Get('timecode'))
ob.makeDisplayList()
Blender.Window.RedrawAll()
------------------------------------------

4. Then add a scriptlink on FrameChanged to the script.
