Text effect strip for sequencer.

Is pretty much what it says :)
Easy subtitles for everyone!

Supports size, positioning,
a cheap shadow effect (probably will need more work),
and autocentering on x axis.

Now you can go wild with long spanish names
in your soap opera videos.

Will probably be refined as days go by,
but at least it's now ready for testing.
