Adds support for frameserver rendering to blender. This is done by

integrating a mini-webserver (around 300 lines of code) into blender.
Using the VFAPI-plugin in contrib/windows it enables blender to
directly feed its output into TMPGEnc, a commercial high quality MPEG-Encoder.
Since it is a mini-webserver, you can probably easily use it for other
interfacing purposes.
