Proportional edit for object mode.

Limitations:

1) Parents and children of selected objects are excluded from the pool (siblings are ok) Making it work with that would required unparenting and reparenting after transform, that would turn nasty really quick.

2) Does not support Connected (this could be done through parent links, but see 3 first).

3) Parent relationships in affected objects aren't taken into account. When parent and children in the area of effect, remember that the children will also take the motion of the parents (with additive results). This could perhaps be fixed, but it could be nasty.


Other stuff:
New BASE_EDITABLE macro that checks if base is editable (like TESTBASELIB except it doesn't check for selection)
Add scene parameter to TESTBASELIB_BGMODE macro (using it from current scope is nasty)
