To get and set action actuators is actually needed if one wants to import or 
export animated meshes from or to the game engine. 

For example, if you animate a character for an external game with several 
animations (walk, jump, shoot, idle, ...) you may want to check your 
animation with the build in game engine or even use the build in game engine 
for prototyping. Therefore you type in all those action actuators into 
blender. If you then want to use an exporter e.g. the OGRE exporter, you 
actually have to type in all the information for the animations again, since 
the exporter called from the menu can't get blender's action actuators with 
the current python api.

Michael
