It is a realtime control over the head position via the LCD menu system that works _while_ printing.
Using it, one can e.g. tune the z-position in realtime, while printing the first layer.
Also, lost steps can be manually added/removed, but thats not the prime feature.
Stuff is placed into the Tune->Babystep *
It is not possible to have realtime control via gcode sending due to the buffering, so I did not include a gcode yet. However, it could be added, but it movements will not be realtime then.
Historically, a very similar thing was implemented for the "Kaamermaker" project, while Joris was babysitting his offspring, hence the name.
say goodby to fuddling around with the z-axis.
Add new 'callback' edit-menu types that call a function after the edit is done. Use this to display and edit Ki and Kd correctly (removing the scaling first and reapplying it after). Also use it to reset maximum stepwise acceleration rates, after updating mm/s^2 rates via menus. (Previously, changes did nothing to affect planner unless saved back to EEPROM, and the machine reset).
Add calls to updatePID() so that PID loop uses updated values whether set by gcode (it already did this), or by restoring defaults, or loading from EEPROM (it didn't do those last two). Similarly, update the maximum step/s^2 accel rates when the mm/s^2 values are changed - whether by menu edits, restore defaults, or EEPROM read.
Refactor the acceleration rate update logic, and the PID scaling logic, into new functions that can be called from wherever, including the callbacks.
Add menu items to allow the z jerk and e jerk to be viewed/edited in the Control->Motion menu, as per xy jerk.

Marlin/language.h
- The temperature control is pretty much complete
(not sure what to do w/ autotemp though)
Changed the pins assignment to clearly separate bed and extruder heaters
and temp sensors, changed a bit how termistor tables are handled.
- The steppers control is rudimentary
(only chanages what pins it uses depending on the active_extruder var,
but that's enough for switching extruder in the start.gcode in the
the profiles)
- Tested only w/ RAMPS 1.4
Might be replaced by something more clever, e.g. by erik, and does not yet support the second extruder or the bed.
its kind of not so cool, because you need 6 more ints.
Maybe isheating() should use the degrees directly, as it is not used in time-critical anyways.
Then it would be much easier. to have the offsets without additional variables.
