wonderful!

it seems to me that sandboxing python it's pretty hard: the old plugin
had python completely disabled and we can do the same for the new one
(initially).

I hope that multiple execution of the same executable share code
section in memory (after all, how many web player executions do you
expect concurrenty?).
As far as blenderplayer is concerned, my modification can be included
on normal blender player installation (so blenderplayer can be
embedded on any other running program); using this solution the web
plugin can use the blender player (already) installed on the system.
