[Bf-committers] Cheap Tweak Mode

[zippy]

I second the mouse tablet bit. Using Blender with a tablet is 
worthless. This feature in wings works great with a tablet.
Does Ton have a tablet ? If not he should get a nice small one and see 
how blender could be better with a little bit different interface 
layout and work flow.
