[Bf-python] Getting started with PyNodes

[H Petrus]

Thanks, Sergey.  Already found them this morning and am still dissecting 
them.

I integrated my own RIB exporter into Blender and learned about 
Blender's Python API through that experience.  Now, I want to create a 
*feature complete* node set for the creation and integration of Ri 
Shaders in accordance with the still beta RMan Server 19 (lots and lots 
have changed in the spec).

 From that experience - which is no doubt going to take a good deal of 
effort - I hope to have acquired the chops in order to tackle the 
'node-ification' of Blender Objects and Data.  This would include 
constraints, modifiers, math nodes, geometry data, transform data, etc. 
all exposed in nodes.  My reasons are primarily for rigging, as well as 
node-based procedural particles and simulations, but the system *should* 
be open enough for anyone to create custom nodes for any data structure 
available in bpy and manipulate it.

No doubt, I'm going to hit a few brick walls.  Let me know if you have 
any warnings I should be aware of at this time.  And pray for me and my 
sanity ;)
