Still a few quirks, including redraw issues on multilayer image input nodes, but it's pretty much there.
Would also be good to wrap the input/output sockets, too, will check on it.
This fixes bug [#19740] INPUT NODE: Cannot load images / motion pictures
Non-ID pointers in DNA can only point to data from own ID block, so
now instead it uses an index into the particle system list, but still
exposed as a pointer through RNA.

Updated buttons_render.py to have Freestyle buttons
Added "empty" BlenderTextureManager as preliminary step to remove last remnants of OpenGL and to allow Freestyle to run on my machine.
Since the deep shadow buffer summer of code project is not actively under
development anymore, I decided to build my own DSM implementation from
scratch, based on reusing as much existing shadow buffer code as possible.
It's not very advanced, but implements the basic algorithm. Just enough so
we can do shading tests with it, optimizations and other improvements can
be done later.
Supported:
* Classical shadow buffer options: filter, soft, bias, ..
* Multiple sample buffers, merged into one.
* Halfway trick to support lower bias.
* Compression with user defined threshold.
* Non-textured alpha transparency, using Casting Alpha value.
* Strand render.
Not Supported:
* Tiling disk cache, so can use a lot of memory.
* Per part rendering for lower memory usage during creation.
* Colored shadow.
* Textured color/alpha shadow.
* Mipmaps for faster filtering.
* Volume shadows.
Usage Hints:
* Use sample buffers + smaller size rather than large size.
* For example 512 size x 9 sample buffers instead of 2048 x 1.
* Compression threshold 0.05 works, but is on the conservative side.
The makefile is a copy of the source one, not tuned, just to unbreak build.
This raises some questions: why separate dirs? why each build system takes
a different approach (different libs vs all source files into one)?
*Disabled ray counter (can be enabled on render/extern/include/RE_raytrace.h by commenting out the define)
*marked bvh_node_merge() as static inline (hopping it now compiles on gcc and mingw)
* Made bvh_node_merge() in svbvh.h static (fix suggested by jaguarandi). This makes mingw link again.
* Also, patched my previous fix for ... = {}; since mingw didn't like the other fix (which was for msvc).
* Replaced ... = {}; with ... = {0};
* Solved problem with logf(), where msvc couldn't figure out which version of log() to call (solved by casting the int argument to a float, but could also have been to double)...
* The cflags and cxxflags for scons when compiling the rendering module were only valid for gcc compiles. These will still need to get added for msvc sometime, but for now, there are no more warnings about unknown options...
* mingw almost compiles again cleanly, except for a linking error when linking blender http://www.pasteall.org/8297
* win64 should compile again too to a similar degree?
* silenced warnings about no newlines...
Volumes can now receive shadows from external objects, either raytraced shadows or shadow maps.
To use external shadows, enable 'external shadows' in volume material 'lighting' panel. This an extra toggle since it causes a performance hit, but this can probably be revisited/optimised when the new raytrace accelerator is integrated. For shadow maps at least, it's still very quick.
Renamed 'scattering mode' to 'lighting mode' (a bit simpler to understand), and the options inside. Now there's:
- Shadeless
takes light contribution, but without shadowing or self-shading (fast)
good for fog-like volumes, such as mist, or underwater effects
- Shadowed (new)
takes light contribution with shadows, but no self-shading. (medium)
good for mist etc. with directional light sources
eg. http://vimeo.com/6901636
- Shaded
takes light contribution with internal/external shadows, and self shading (slower)
good for thicker/textured volumes like smoke
- Multiple scattering etc (still doesn't work properly, on the todo).
