PLUGIN: Meta

I've been going on about it in the work-in-progress section and here it is. The first public outing of my metaball plugin. This should be seen as an alpha release, so don't use it in the middle of any valuable modelling. I am holding on to the source for now as I don't feel happy letting it out in its current state.

Be aware that you now have the potential to easily generate millions of triangles. My machine gets rather sluggish with a 2 million triangle model!

The mechanism for associating metaball parameters with vertices is a bit clunky, but I can't think of anything better. I might implement a save/load for the parameters so that you don't lose the information each session.

Let me know if there are any problems.

Steve.
