Pops up a pie menu (mapped to Q-key since that's right next to Tab) that lets you select the 3D view type (front, back, left, &etc...) -- *very* useful for laptops and keyboards without number pads when 3d modeling.

The PieMenu class is pretty generic and can be split out and placed into the modules dir (I have a version that has a method for auto-placement of items that I stripped out of this since it wasn't being used) for use by other scripts that want a fancy pie menu. The MenuItem class can also do sub-menus (also stripped out due to not being used).
