27102bfec4 Cycles: OpenCL library is now dynamically loaded so that blender doesn't crash
if it's not installed on the system.

6686f18948 Cycles: more opencl tweaks, status is:
* kernel has shading nodes / textures disabled, amd/nvidia opencl
  compilers choke on these, need to figure out how to avoid this
* works in cycles_test, not available as option in blender yet
* kernel compiles and runs with opencl 1.1 from intel/amd/nvidia

da376e0237 Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs":

* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:
http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/
* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
* Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools:
