[Bf-committers] Dupliframe type effect

i wrote a script some time ago, it was never put into cvs - 

plant.ffa.vutbr.cz/~novak/dwnflz/snake

i uploaded it here now, it still works, and there's a sample file.
I used it mainly to make some kind of snakes with metaballs, but should be possible to use with any object type. Just the object which is duplified has to be a child of a curve - path.
