util.path now supports regular expression filtering in addition to globs.

added ability to set logger verbosity using PYMEL_LOGLEVEL environment variable.  great for quick testing.

fixed issue 65: DependencyNode.listAttr broken
made sure NameParse objects are stringified before fed to MFnDependencyNode.findPlug
added a few more reserved types so as to avoid creating them, which can lead to crashes on some setups

fixed a bug where selectionSets can't be selected
fixed a bug with sets() when it returns lists
fixed issue 76, where non-unique joint names were returned by pymel.joint and thus were unsuccessfully cast to nodetypes.Joint
