[Bf-taskforce25] Adding Panels/Headers/Spaces/ in Blender through python code, will it be possible?

[Nicholas Bishop]

Your build probably isn't accessing the correct scripts -- for
example, a CMake build doesn't notice when the UI scripts get changed,
so you have to either recopy them manually or touch a C source file to
get the build to update the scripts.
