[OS X TeX] Applescript sync for BBEdit-->TeXniscope

My TeX-Scripts-BBEdit have to be installed, including the new 
subroutine preview_bbedit, which has to  be downloaded separately from
http://www.math.uni-heidelberg.de/studinfo/gerhardt/tex/

from where one can also get the TeX-Scripts.

A completely updated version TEX-Scripts-BBEdit should be available in 
the next days, though I would like to get some feed back if the new 
features work well or not, before I do a thorough update.
