[Bf-python] Menu events?

[Gert De Roost]

I must admit I had to jump through quite some hoops to get this working
(the API is safer for one-off tools, not for something like this), but I
got it working quite well now although slow on heavy/subsurfed meshes.

If anyone would wonder, its at: http://www.ewocprojects.be/presel.html

Theres a thread at BlenderArtists forum also, for those who wanna report
bugs... (its development is still ongoing)


And Id love to program this in C at some time but I heard chances are small
it would ever get included with Blender trunk...
