Link to Pixar's "it" Scripting

A quick link to Pixar's Introduction to "it" Scripting has been added to Rman Tools.

Generating a User's "nodeid" Report

Improvements have been made to the information generated by Cutter aboutn the "rfm_nodeid" and "nodeid" values that are used by custom .args files and OSL shaders. A report can be generated by the popup menu when editing either a .args file or the source code for a OSL shader - sample report.
