effect for a render engine using new shading nodes. In short:
* No longer uses images assigned to faces in the uv layer, rather the active
image texture node is what is edited/painted/drawn.
* Textured draw type now shows the active image texture node, with solid
lighting.
* Material draw mode shows GLSL shader of a simplified material node tree,
using solid lighting.
* Textures for modifiers, brushes, etc, are now available from a dropdown in
the texture tab in the properties editor. These do not use new shading nodes
yet.

This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.
