IIRC Ton said that the place for the timer hook is there in the core 
already, made by him I think, when he(?) added Verse basics too. or 
perhaps by Jiri as he did the Verse work. i think he said something 
along the lines of 'there are 3 kind of xxx, 1 for blender own stuff, 2 
for py and 3 for verse', and that it's just a matter of exposing that 
in the api somehow and we'll have blender calling scripts to update 
periodically.

this was in the early days of Orange, after Verse had been worked on 
quite a lot during the previous year, and i've never look at the code 
(creator mainloop, or something?) with this in mind.

so shouldn't be hard, and i guess it would be cross-platform too (at 
least verse also works on all plats).
