Here's another Node tool improvement:
- If a node does not show one or both handles (i.e. they are retracted), you can drag a handle out by dragging away from the node with Shift. This is often more convenient than using the "Convert node to smooth" or "Convert segment to curve" buttons. Unlike before, dragging a node without modifiers, or with any modifiers but Shift, will always move the node itself, not its retracted handle.
Retracted handles are now not displayed at all, so for the user there's no difference between a node on a line segment (without handles) or a curve node with retracted handles. They behave the same, and you can Shift+drag out a handle easily from both.

This is where it's at... I think I need to go register "buliarocks.com" before someone else gets the idea. My CVS just finished building and this is just waaay to awesome! Bulia, as always... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I'm really looking forward to taking all these improvements for a test drive. This is really great!
