[Bf-committers] IPO curves mapped to particles life.

[Janne Karhu]

This is not currently possible in 2.5 as it was a part of the old ipo  
system and I haven't yet reimplemented the functionality. The reason I  
haven't yet reimplemented it that I think the possibilities are far  
greater than just changing parameters in global vs local time, but I  
haven't yet had the time to figure things out fully. Rest assured the  
feature will be back (hopefully better than before) at some point.
