[Bf-funboard] recuring transformations of duplications

[Robert Christian]

Hi all, this is my first submission. This is a feature in xsi (where I 
get most of my ideas from, since I used to have a student copy). In xsi, 
if the user duplicates and object, and then transforms it, whether it be 
translation, rotation, or scalling, every duplication that follow will 
have the same transforms applied again. So if I want to quickly lay some 
rail road ties down, instead of using dupliverts, this would be a lot 
faster. I just duplicate and move the object, and then duplicate, 
duplicate, duplicate... However many I want, real fast like that. Of 
course the user might not always want that. In xsi, you freeze the 
history of the object before duplicating it and this effect doesn't 
occur, iirc. Blender would need to use a pop-up menu I suppose. What 
this gives you that dupliverts and dupliframes don't, are the rotation 
and scalling changes. Although I'm sure it can be done, this way is 
really fast.

Also, the new curve deform option doesn't seem to make use of the curve 
twist (tilt) feature. It would be really nice if it did.
