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.
Detailed information can be found on the wiki page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Phonybone/Particles2010
this will reconnect nodes as if the deleted node is muted.
Operation is added to the space_node node menu and to the keymap as CTRL-X
to test this just add some nodes to the space_node
select one or multiple nodes and press CTRL-X
It should reconnect the nodes as they were muted
limitations:
1. it performs a delete and reconnect per node. It does not evaluate all selected nodes as one whole
2. mute only supports Value, Vector and Color data types, so does this feature
3. not usable for nodes where input and output does not match (like colorToBW)
Where reconnect could not be preformed the links will be removed from the model.
Undo works with this delete with reconnect.
Changed selection flag used for the selected_nodes context property from SELECT to NODE_SELECT. These are just incidentally the same, but NODE_SELECT should be used for nodes.
In addition don't store unfinished links in the nodetree->links list any more. This makes code a bit safer because all links in that list can be considered valid now. The temporary bNodeLinkDrag structs used by the modal linking operator are now also stored in a list in SpaceNode, so these links can be drawn too (this separation also allows different display of temporary links, e.g. currently they are drawn on top of all nodes).
One node update call (for nodes within group nodetrees) was using the
wrong nodetree (node-editor's nodetree, not the group) which meant
that the wrong RNA context for such nodes would get used, resulting in
errors when trying to keyframe such nodes.
Hopefully this is the last time I have to fix these bugs...
most local modifier,GPU,ImBuf and Interface functions are now static.
also fixed an error were the fluid modifier definition and the header didnt have the same number of args.
+ changed lines connecting nodes:
they now use a linewidth of 1.5px for the light foreground and 4px for the dark background.
this should fix node-lines not being visible on almost black or all white backdrops.
+ muted nodes now also show a red tinted header if they are hidden (collapsed)
+ both active and selected nodes show a (now properly antialiased) highlighting frame
+ fixed a small error in dropshadow code resulting in a gap at borders
+ fixed a tiny error for the collapsing indicators (triangles) - they were not symmetrical.
Ton will add proper theme colors for the node-editor in the coming days.
Node editor
Some nodes - when muted - didn't draw a red line to indicate
a pass-on action. Stil, the node then is muted and either passes
on a buffer of same type, or just black.
To more clearly indicate muting, it now draws the header in a
reddish blended color too.
(This commit doesn't fix the original bug reported in the report, but does fix one that was discovered while investigating that one)
Trying to insert keyframes for nodes within group nodes was failing.
This was caused by the ID-block for those UI widgets being set to the Node Editor's current ID-block (i.e. NodeTree) vs the NodeTree that those nodes lived in. The net result was that the paths couldn't be resolved, as the paths obtained for those widgets could only work up to the group's nodetree.
only tags the ID and does the actual flush/update delayed, before the next
redraw. For objects the update was already delayed, just flushing wasn't
yet.
This should help performance in python and animation editors, by making
calls to RNA property update quicker. Still need to add calls in a few
places where this was previously avoided due to bad performance.

The patch renames and moves gl_round_box, gl_round_box_shade and gl_round_box_vertical_shade to UI_interface.h, so the extern usages are not needed anymore.
