[Bf-python] Render baking with python.

[Emanuel Greisen]

Hi Michael,

We have the exact same request for our content-pipeline. Currently we do
all the baking by hand, which is tiresome - thus leading to incomplete
results being accepted in the final game. I posted a question about this
on the forums:

http://www.blender.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12603

But there has been no reply. I also added this as a feature request to
the "what are you missing in the gamedev toolchain"-question on the
apricot game project, but it does not seem to be included in any
todo-lists or anything.

http://apricot.blender.org/?p=37

I have not had my hands real dirty with actual blender-coding (I only
write python plug-ins), so I don't think I can implement this fast
enough for it to make sense in our production. But i really am looking
forward to this feature being added as this will enable the writing of
some real nice model-exporting scripts.

./Emanuel
