[Bf-committers] Scripts accessible from menus

[Roel Spruit]

I thought I'd just note that I still can't get the scriptmenus working.
using the supplied .bpymenus works, but only shows the registered =
script, and not the new ones in the directory.
if I don't have a .bpymenus at all blender doesn't even start

Thanks LarstiQ, one more confirmation : ).

(***) info: I've made a few changes based on suggestions here:

-- added a menu entry (Scripts win) to re-evaluate the menus.
-- added a button to the Info Win -> File Paths tab (it's between the
python dir entry and its filesel button).  It's pretty handy to have
this by the side of the pythondir path, but if it's not a proper place,
just tell me and it's gone.
-- made .Bpymenus be written only if at least one script was registered.
-- added the 'Blender' tag:

"""
Name: "Script Name"
Blender: 232
Group: "Import"
"""
for example.  Note that the tag  comes below Name, has no single quotes
and is **required**.  Sorry, but you have to update the scripts, Kent!
And others...  Ah, transition periods...

If you edit the script and add ',0' as a last parameter to those three
calls to Slider, it should work better.  This way the Slider buttons
don't use a hackish callback (see python/api2_2x/Draw.c, search for
Slider and py_slider, there are NaN time comments there about this being
a bad thing).  Gotta investigate better, maybe even get rid of it or at
least make '0' the default, and not '1'.

Yes, from now on these things can be tackled.  But the Scripts win is
the best place for 'misc' scripts with guis.  We should later separate
misc in more cathegories.  Things like mesh tools can be better in the
3d view header's (editmode) "Edit" menu, etc.

Ugh, no error msgs on the console?  Please try again, the output should
be a something.ac file, no need to put '.ac' yourself in the file
selector, btw.
