[Bf-committers] Array in blenders edit panel.

[Campbell Barton]

I had a go at adding this but the problem is that the slider values are 
not remembered from redraw to redraw.
I fugure I must make the variables an attribute of the scene.

Any hins so I can get somtjhing like?
G.scene->array->iter

How shoud I best set some variables to be remembered in the UI, Im not 
fussed as to weather they are saved in the blend file.

Thanks
- Cam
