instinctive-blender had a little cross, when in camera view (NUMPAD0), which
indicated the focus position in the view plane.

And well, on the whole, I don't think animating this would be necessary too
often? I mean, most cameras' autofocus uses a fixed x/y position in the view
plane for the focus point anyway, don't they? Or one out of 9 choosable
fixed positions, for instance.

Anyway, I had added 2 IPOs for it... AFX and AFY or something.
