[Bf-python] Making IK flag writable in the Bone class

[Gilbert, Joseph]

There is more to it than that. The reason that setIK was not implemented
was that once the flag is set the matrix of each bone must be
recalculated so that the head becomes attached to the tail of the
preceeding bone. You will be able to set the flag but it's basically
meaningless without the recalculation of the parent/child bone matrices.

Subject: [Bf-python] Making IK flag writable in the Bone class

Hi everybody!

I hope this ist the right place to post this...

The IK flag in the Bone python class is read only. The only way to 
modify it is the corresponding button in the buttons panel. It's not 
possible via python.

I modified  python/api2_2x/Bone.c so the flag can be modified via
python.

For now I did it by adding an optional bool parameter to the hasIK() 
function that sets/unsets the flag.

An alternative or additional way would be to make the IK class member 
variable writeable.

What do you think?

I could supply a patch if desired.

Regards,
Jonas
