This needs an improvement but it is not so hard to do as all the missing
infos can be retreived in the function Object.DupObjects which manages
correctly the static particules in duplication .

Sound as a good idea .

It can be done in python but faster if already compiled .

Note : getParticules and DupObjects use functions borrowed
to the render core and it seems that all this may  change
soon ...
