[Bf-taskforce25] Modifier Layout Proposal

[William Reynish]

Agree with your first point, at least for Cloth, Softbody, Fluids.  
Particles makes sense too, because you might want the particles  
emitted from a subsurfed mesh, but it'd be a massive panel ;) These  
should probably be made proper modifiers, even just to remove the  
confusing link between modifiers and physics panels.

Regarding your second point, that could work, but would be less  
direct, more cumbersome in that you'd have to first select your  
object, then the modifier to be able to make changes, instead of just  
selecting an object an immediately see modifier settings.

Cheers
