[Bf-committers] Layer system code

[David Bryant]

I already have a working named layer system that actually does what it's 
supposed to do.Even when scenes change, the layers can be renamed to fit the 
circumstances of that particular scene.A blank layer palate is created for 
that particular scene.You can try the latest build (Named Layers 9) at 
Graphicall.org.
