===========================
Commiting camera tracking integration gsoc project into trunk.
This commit includes:
- Bundled version of libmv library (with some changes against official repo,
re-sync with libmv repo a bit later)
- New datatype ID called MovieClip which is optimized to work with movie
clips (both of movie files and image sequences) and doing camera/motion
tracking operations.
- New editor called Clip Editor which is currently used for motion/tracking
stuff only, but which can be easily extended to work with masks too.
This editor supports:
* Loading movie files/image sequences
* Build proxies with different size for loaded movie clip, also supports
building undistorted proxies to increase speed of playback in
undistorted mode.
* Manual lens distortion mode calibration using grid and grease pencil
* Supervised 2D tracking using two different algorithms KLT and SAD.
* Basic algorithm for feature detection
* Camera motion solving. scene orientation
- New constraints to "link" scene objects with solved motions from clip:
* Follow Track (make object follow 2D motion of track with given name
or parent object to reconstructed 3D position of track)
* Camera Solver to make camera moving in the same way as reconstructed camera
This commit NOT includes changes from tomato branch:
- New nodes (they'll be commited as separated patch)
- Automatic image offset guessing for image input node and image editor
(need to do more tests and gather more feedback)
- Code cleanup in libmv-capi. It's not so critical cleanup, just increasing
readability and understanadability of code. Better to make this chaneg when
Keir will finish his current patch.

Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental
features would first be implemented in tomato branch.
Made a major amount of conflict resolution for code adaptation to
the animation system updates introduced in the Pepper branch recently
merged to the trunk.

Note for VS2008 plus CMake users:
I had to remove OpenEXR debug libs from the "blender" project properties >
Linker > Additional Dependencies. Otherwise I got a number of linker errors
concerning duplicated symbols between libcmt.lib and libcmtd.lib.
Some reorg of modules/pages, start makesdna and makesrna.
In many places license block needs to be changed to not start with /**, because otherwise documentation will go weird.
- set_frame() --> frame_set()
- set_context_pointer() --> context_pointer_set()
material adding works for curves and metaballs, new function to remove materials.
materials.link() didnt well fit how this is used elsewhere
- order matters
- it can be linked more than once.
- remove(material), isnt that useful since you need to manage indicies.
... use list style functions instead. materials.append(mat) / materials.pop(index)
A number of UI elements were newly introduced to control line color, alpha
transparency and line thickness by means of base color/alpha/thickness plus
modifiers that alter the base values. To begin with, three basic modifiers
were prototyped with the aim of putting the new UI framework in practice
and evaluating if it works properly.
The Parameter Editor mode is still in a work-in-progress state and totally
useless from users' viewpoint.
