2 New tools, 'Loop to region' and 'Region to loop'

-> Loop to Region
Examines the current set of selected edges and seperates them into groups
 of 'loops' that each bisect the mesh into two parts. Then for each loop it
selects the smaller 'half' of the mesh.

This tool handles multiple loops fine as is shown by these images:

http://www.umsl.edu/~gcbq44/looptoregion1b.jpg

Furthermore it handles 'holes' just fine as well:

-> Region to Loop

This is the 'logical inverse' of loop to region.

Example:

Both features can be accessed by the 'Edge Menu' in EditMode (CTRL-E).
