[Soc-2016-dev] Weekly report #12 - Bezier curve improvements

[Duaret Ramos Sapo]

Not trying to respond for João but there have been regular test builds 
made available over at theBlender Artists thread 
<https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?397450-GSoC-2016-Improvements-to-Bezier-Curves>, 
along with lots of image posts of working examples and bugs found.

I have tested most of the builds myself and provided some feedback there.
