Manual merge of soc-2009-kazanbas branch:

* copied I/O scripts
* copied, modified rna_*_api.c and rna_*.c

I/O scripts not working yet due to slight BPY differences and RNA changes. Will fix them later.

Not merged changes:

* C unit testing integration, because it is clumsy
* scons cross-compiling, can be merged easily later
