Somtimes I need this, This is a realys usefull array script.
Basicly- You just make a linked dupe. and modify its loc/size/rot, then 
run this script.
You can use the offset between the to to offshoot/slingshot the rest of 
the objects, OR add objects between the 2 you have.

They are both usefull, I find the 2nd very good if you know where the 
start and end of the array are. and how many make it up, sometimes this 
is tricky with dupliframes. (I dont use dupliframes much, so I cant 
realy comment)

- Use this python script Object> Linear Array
