Previously this only worked for some datablocks relevant to rendering, now it
can be used to detect if any type of datablock was added or removed (but not
yet to detect if it was modified, we need many more depsgraph tags for that).
Most of the changes are some function parameter changes, the important parts
are the DAG_id_type_tag calls.

window, the game would stop drawing in the first and mess up the OpenGL state of
the second.
Also fixes glPushAttrib/glPopAttrib getting out of sync in some cases.
It introduces a new (py-extendable and registrable) RNA type, UIList (roughly similar to Panel one), which currently contains only "standard" list's scroll pos and size (but may be expended to include e.g. some filtering data, etc.). This now makes lists completely independent from Panels!
This UIList has a draw_item callback which allows to customize items' drawing from python, that all addons can now use. Incidentally, this also greatly simplifies the C code of this widget, as we do not code any "special case" here anymore!
To make all this work, other changes were also necessary:
* Now all buttons (uiBut struct) have a 'custom_data' void pointer, used currently to store the uiList struct associated with a given uiLayoutListBox.
* DynamicPaintSurface now exposes a new bool, use_color_preview (readonly), saying whether that surface has some 3D view preview data or not.
* UILayout class has now four new (static) functions, to get the actual icon of any RNA object (important e.g. with materials or textures), and to get an enum item's UI name, description and icon.
* UILayout's label() func now takes an optional 'icon_value' integer parameter, which if not zero will override the 'icon' one (mandatory to use "custom" icons as generated for material/texture/... previews).
Note: not sure whether we should add that one to all UILayout's prop funcs?
Note: will update addons using template list asap.
Added four new functions as shortcuts to creating GHashes that use the
standard ptr/str/int/pair hash and compare functions.
GHash *BLI_ghash_ptr_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_str_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_int_new(const char *info);
GHash *BLI_ghash_pair_new(const char *info);
Replaced almost all occurrences of BLI_ghash_new() with one of the
above functions.
Diff Keymaps
User edited keymaps now no longer override the builtin keymaps entirely, but
rather save only the difference and reapply those changes. This means they can
stay better in sync when the builtin keymaps change. The diff/patch algorithm
is not perfect, but better for the common case where only a few items are changed
rather than entire keymaps The main weakness is that if a builtin keymap item
changes, user modification of that item may need to be redone in some cases.
Keymap Editor
The most noticeable change here is that there is no longer an "Edit" button for
keymaps, all are editable immediately, but a "Restore" buttons shows for keymaps
and items that have been edited. Shortcuts for addons can also be edited in the
keymap editor.
Addons
Addons now should only modify the new addon keyconfiguration, the keymap items
there will be added to the builtin ones for handling events, and not get lost
when starting new files. Example code of register/unregister:
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps.new("3D View", space_type="VIEW_3D")
km.keymap_items.new('my.operator', 'ESC', 'PRESS')
km = wm.keyconfigs.addon.keymaps["3D View"]
km.keymap_items.remove(km.keymap_items["my.operator"])
Compatibility
The changes made are not forward compatible, i.e. if you save user preferences
with newer versions, older versions will not have key configuration changes that
were made.
Ton will work on moving the File menu out of the Info space before release.
notes.
- reply Operator isn't working anymore.
- UI for reports is commented out so its not mixed with the file menu.
- use sizeof() in more places.
- fixed some off by 1 bugs copying strings. setting curve font family for instance was 1 char too short.
- replace strncpy and strcpy with BLI_strncpy
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi
- function renames, move WM functions into collections wm.add_keymap() --> wm.keymaps.new()
note: new is used for named items in a collection, which return the result.
- Action.get_frame_range() is now a readonly property 'frame_range', floats rather then ints.
- raise an exception when python calls is_property_set(name) or is_property_hidden(name) and the property does not exist.
- added BLI_findstring_ptr(), which finds a named item in a listbase where that name is a pointer to a string.
- replaced inline for loops with calls to BLI_findstring_ptr() and IDP_GetPropertyFromGroup().
* Now it displays the last report from the global list, not just from operators
* Rather than disappearing when a new operator is run, it stays until it times
out or a new report is added
* Fun animated transitions ;)

Now need to investigate report usage with popups. Ideally we can have most
reports non-blocking, so they're less intrusive, only popping up for dire errors.
Problem is many things in Blender right now are marked as RPT_ERROR
when probably RPT_WARNING is more appropriate. Should probably keep
RPT_ERROR for things that demand immediate attention.

with modifications.
notes:
- needed to remove quotes around filepaths for copying.
- WITH_JACK, doesnt link
- WITH_FFMPEG, doesnt build
- WITH_RAYOPTIMIZATION, gave an error for me. (no mmx support)
