Re: SIAddEntryToOverride

Yeah but that makes project standardization quite difficult. Having
the user to manually re-create overrides for every shot will most
likely result in errors, and I'd avoid that.

Anyway my current solution:
1- tell the artist to make sure to run the script after the scene has
been populated and objects moved to partitions
2- the script tries to find the parameter among its member through
some tedious string operations. It's slow, but so far so good.
