[Bf-committers] LinkLa, the abstract lLinked list.

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

The Blender ListBase serves fine for this purpose too. Just construct  
your own structs starting with a *next and *prev pointer, and add  
anything you like to it. I add datapointers to such linked lists all  
the time, but for each purpose it needs different handling (freeing,  
copying), so didnt see a reason for making that general.
