[Bf-committers] Patch for naming of "UVTexture Layer"

[Gaia Clary]

In fact it is NOT a UV Map. The construct is more a container which 
contains
a UV Map and a set of textures, so:

    UV Layer = 1 UVMap + n Texture(s)

That's why its not called "UV Map". So what would be a better name then ?
maybe "UVContainer" comes to mind. But that's also questionable IMHO.

BTW i meanwhile have added the Patch to the patch tracker as proposed by
Ideasman_42:

http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=29336&group_id=9&atid=127

There is a bit more of explanation.
