[bf1942] We REALLY need the BF2 Python API

["Einar S. Idsø"]

Sure, that was our intention all along. We're just cleaning up the code
a bit, adding comments and such.

If by "callback registration" you mean calls on the form
host.registerHandler('EventName', pythonEventHandler[, parameter]), then
yes, we have that working. We have no idea what "parameter" is, but so
far it seems like it's necessary to put a 1 there. Additionally, the
function specified by pythonEventHandler needs to have the correct
number of arguments, a number which depends on the actual event.

We'll be posting more later on (hopefully today) when we've got
everything put together.
