Suggestion: add display of arbitrary points

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When requesting output its common to do something like this:

b = BYLABEL(solfec, 'body001')
c = b.center
p = OFFSET(p, (0.005, 0.005, 0)
thist = HISTORY(solfec, [(b, p, 'VY')], t0, t1)

When trying to check/verify such scripts the easiest way to check the point is 
to
1) replace the HISTORY() command with something like:
FIX_POINT(b, p)
2) rerun the script with the viewer
3) use [kinds of]/[constraints] to visually check the point is in the correct 
place

It would be useful to have something like:
DISPLAY_POINT(body, point)
and a corresponding Viewer menu item which would allow any points defined in 
the script to be visually identified in Viewer.  Even better if there was an 
optional label parameter which would show a text label in the viewer.

Oops, OFFSET(p, vector) in my example should be TRANSLATE(c, vector)

DIPLAY_POINTS command added in revision 729. See documentation, menu 
'tools->display points' and the modified inp/domino.py example.
