[Bf-funboard] VSE proxies

[Antony Riakiotakis]

Hi, if blender crashes generating proxies, it's a bug and it should be fixed.
Even thought this is done in a seperate thread than the main
application, it still uses just one thread to do the job (admittedly
it could handle many proxies at once)
You can explicitly set proxies in blender also in many ways (custom
file, custom directory per project etc). I don't see how generating
them outside blender will help in any way really.
