HISTORY
1.0 - 09 Oct 2006 - working version
1.1 - 11 Oct 2006 - fixed problem with closestPointOnMesh ignoring parent transforms
1.2 - 14 Oct 2006 - fixed duplicate names problem
- fixed problem determining object location
- object now parent-constrained to follicle
- multiple objects can be constrained in a single execution
1.3 - 17 Oct 2006 - fixed problem where target shapeNode was not alone under it's transform
1.4 - 19 Oct 2006 - removed target surface transform heirarchy limitation
- added nurbs support for target surface
1.4.1 - 21 Oct 2006 - fix "object is already child of parent" error
- fix small error in nurbs uv normalization which resulted in miscalculation of follicle position
1.4.2 - 21 Oct 2006 - prevent failure that occured if target surface had locked transforms
- check for locked translate or rotate attributes on objects to be constrained and skip if they are locked
1.5.2 - 30 Oct 2006 - selected vertices, cv's and lattice-points can be rivetted either individually or together
- shelf button maker and icon included in the zip file
1.5.3 - 11 Feb 2007 - script checks maya version and works correctly with 7.x, 8.0 and 8.5
- new maya8.5 follicle attributes are handled correctly
- follicles and clusters are grouped under a single transform to keep things tidy
1.5.5 - 28 Aug 2007 - correctly identify maya8.5sp1
- check whether transforms are animated before attempting to constrain
1.6.0 - 02 Nov 2009 - multiple uv set support
