[Bf-vfx] Footage proxying

[Peter Schlaile]

Hi Sergey,

you might want to take a look at the vse-proxies branch, which I want to 
merge very soon into trunk.

http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2011-May/032152.html

It's working on ImBuf-level, so you could use it directly in other parts 
of blender, if you like.

Cheers,
Peter
