[Bf-committers] clay brush 2.5 implementation

[Nicholas Bishop]

Hi,

I made the changes to the patch when I committed it, you are right
that I misunderstood in part what you were doing :)

I'll have another look at it, with this email it is much clearer to me
what the intent was.

Thanks,
-Nicholas
