[Bf-committers] Node Groups and PyNodes

[Alexander Romanov]

HiIsaac! When Iresearchedthenode groupsin the C-code I founda lotof 
hardcoded native nodetree types names.Ithink making genericnode groups 
is potentially possible, but it seemsit will requirea lotof refactoring. 
Also, I know one example that uses PyNodes. Sverchoknode 
groupsarecreated viaPython, but their behaviordiffers from the 
nativenodes behavior. This problem is very actual for Blend4Web as well.
