[Bf-committers] Patch to allow recording of static objects in game engine

[James Yonan]

Can this patch be considered for inclusion in 2.69?  All feedback has 
been incorporated, and the patch has been in the field for several 
months (applied to 2.68a) with no known issues.

I'm going to be hosting a Blender club at my son's elementary school, 
and we need this patch, otherwise we can't record the animation of 
static objects that are controlled by logic bricks, which means that we 
can't do cool stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yltDGgW4jd0

One could argue that this is a bug fix, since the capability to record 
the animation of static objects existed in previous blender versions (< 
2.60) and was removed without explanation.
