[Bf-committers] BLF_draw_default not working

[Andrew Green]

Thank you Kent Mein.
I managed to get it working. I'm not expecting this to become a patch.
It is just for me and a friend to make tutorial for each other easily.
So having wrong structure isn't too much of a worry.
Here is the result http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgRCqUIjnXc

I was thinking though this would be good to have. Though not how I've done it.
The keyboard display should be a panel that is added. So the keyboard
shortcuts won't get in the way of blender tools.
Also the mouse could be done a lot better with it only getting written
as it is getting converted to video. Rather than drawing in opengl on
the screen.
