Initial commit of imagebrowser in trunk.
BIG COMMIT!
Main changes:
* completely reworked imasel space
* creation and storage of the preview images for materials, textures, world and lamp
* thumbnails of images and movie files when browsing in the file system
* loading previews from external .blend when linking or appending
* thumbnail caching according to the Thumbnail Managing Standard: http://jens.triq.net/thumbnail-spec/
* for now just kept imasel access mostly as old imgbrowser (CTRL+F4, CTRL+F1) a bit hidden still.
* filtering of file types (images, movies, .blend, py,...)
* preliminary managing of bookmarks ('B' button to add, XKEY while bookmark active to delete)
More detailed info which will be updated here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Elubie/PreviewImageBrowser
Places that need special review (and probably fixes):
* BLO_blendhandle_get_previews in readblenentry
* readfile.c: do_version and refactorings of do_library_append
* UI integration
TODO and known issues still:
* Accented characters do not display correctly with international fonts
* Crash was reported when browsing in directory with movie files
* Bookmark management still needs some UI work (second scrollbar?), feedback here is welcome!

When the Quicktime movie output path lacks any path indication, the movie is created in the
executable directory.
Also new, when the Quicktime output movie isn't created for some reason, the rendering will
stop and give an error message (in the console).
Raw fix for the drive letter issue with Quicktime/Windows filenames.
When a drive letter is missing in a filename, it'll use the drive where the executable is.
Fix might be useful for Yafray too, because the extern char bprogname[]; doesn't return
a full path when Blender is started from the console.
Under Windows, Quicktime images with a depth < 32 didn't
show up in the sequence editor. To fix this a non transparent layer was added to them. (bf227-bf232)
I now have disabled this trick for GIF images, so the transparency is preserved. But this is a quick fix and
should be replaced by a transparency check function.
#include <QuickTime/Movies.h> instead of #include <Movies.h> on OS X to
avoid having to specify the full path to the QT headers in the Makefiles
#undef NDEBUG on OS X to avoid errors about ID being declared twice
enable support for QuickTime in the original Makefiles on OS X
This code allows you to load Quicktime images and movies as textures
and render animations to Quicktime movies.
Note that the selected output codec is *not* saved in the blendfile.
To enable Quicktime functionality you need the SDK from Apple:
OSX: ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/QT6SDK_Mac.hqx
Win: ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/QT6SDK_Win.hqx
Add the \QTDevWin\CIncludes and \QTDevWin\Libraries directories
from this SDK to your build environment.
Enable the WITH_QUICKTIME compile flag in the following directories:
bf\blender\source\blender\imbuf
bf\blender\source\blender\src
bf\blender\source\blender\render
bf\blender\source\creator
