add PhysicsConstraints.exportBulletFile(char* fileName) python command
I'll be checking the bf-committers mailing list, in case this commit broke stuff
scons needs to be updated, I'll do that in a second.
+ fixed Python method, PyArg_ParseTuple already checks for errors, no returning of NULL, thanks Campbell too)
+ added linear/angular spring for each of the 6DOFs of a generic 6dof constraint. This makes the generic 6dof constraint very versatile.

(todo: expose this setting in World setting GUI)
Expose contact processing threshold in Advanced GUI, next to rigid body margin, called CPT.
Default to 1, makes rigid body stacking a bit more stable, smaller values makes sliding easier (at the cost of easier jittering).
Disabled for 'dynamic' objects that don't rotate, because characters etc. always need smooth sliding.
Should make generic 6DOF constraint more useable, and rigid body stacking more stable (warmstarting was accidently switched off)
If time allows, a few more minor last-minute 2.49 fixes might follow.

In particular, the Bullet vehicle seems broken, and some soft-body demos don't work.
No new features or benefits are added yet, but a few improvements are planned before Blender 2.49 release.
Please update the build systems, and add those 3 files:
extern/bullet2/src/BulletCollision/CollisionDispatch/btActivatingCollisionAlgorithm.cpp
extern/bullet2/src/BulletCollision/CollisionDispatch/btGhostObject.cpp
extern/bullet2/src/BulletCollision/CollisionShapes/btConvexPointCloudShape.cpp
I'll watch the Blender mailing list, in case this commit causes some issues.
In case someone reads those SVN logs: you can enable some extra broadphase SSE optimizations by replacing WIN32_AVOID_SSE_WHEN_EMBEDDED_INSIDE_BLENDER by WIN32 in extern/bullet2/src/BulletCollision/BroadphaseCollision/btDbvt.h
Thanks to Benoit Bolsee for the upstream patch/contribution.
Removed some obsolete files, they were just intended for comparison/testing.
HELP BUILD SYSTEM MAINTAINERS: Please help with updating all build systems: the newly added files need to be added. Note that the src/SoftBody has been added for future extension of real-time soft bodies.
The refactoring didn't leave a single file the same, all filenames and classes have bt prefix, methodnames start with lowercase, a single headerfile can be included, and also a single include path.
Plan is to make use of this Bullet 2.x version in extern/bullet2 within the coming weeks, then extern/bullet can be discarded/ignored/content removed.
