PLUGIN: Wave version 1.1 available

Version 1.1 of the Wave plugin is available.

This plugin is more user friendly inasfar as getting the waves to show up where you want them. The new default setting is for the waveform's frequency to be applied over the selection, rather than over an AC3D unit. So, if you select geometry and specify a frequency of 1.0, you will get exactly 1 waveform applied to your geometry.

I haven't had time to tweak the examples on the web page to reflect the new change; this will take (a) user demand and (b) time on my part.

* Fixed: subdivisions are only recalculated when a subdivided object is changed
* Frequency always starts at the minimum axis value. Before, the sin wav always started at 0,0,0, whereas it now starts at the minimum axis value of the selection.
* Frequency can be spread across a selection rather than expressed in units. Checking the "Frequency expressed in units" box will cause the wave plugin to behave the "old" way, where the frequency = the number of AC3D units. Unchecking this box causes the frequency to be the number of sin waves applied across the selection (so, 0.5 means 1/2 of a sin wav will be spread across the selection).
* GUI defaults and increments tweaked.
