The module doesn't allow to export the animations of the bones yet. Only 
the hierarchy and the vertex influence. As the animations for other 
elements in blender are not yet accessible (i think), i wanted to wait 
before adding the armature actions, to harmonize with the rest. I also 
wanted to wain until all python code was written in the same style. 
Thsis eems possible now, as the rules are being established. However, 
you'll probably noticed that i don't have much time these weeks, maybe 
someone else wants to do it.

I'm afraid python strings are not of any help in the armature and bone 
module, since i didn't know exactly the meaning of many parameters, i 
didn't wrote them.
