Like a weight gradient creator, yeah, I see where that
can be useful. 

This would be a possible workflow:

- Select vertices you want to affect
- Select vertex group
- Invoke gradient tool
- (Alternatively, select second group. The function
will balance weight between the two groups so that
adding them equals 1.0).
- (alternatively, select a gradient method: linear,
square, cubic)
- Click (and hold) once where weight will start at 0.0
- Release button where weight will stop at 1.0

No need to set starting and ending weight, just start
and end the gradient line accordingly, kinda like how
GIMP's gradient tool work.

What do you think?
