===========================
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.
* Adds two new python handlers: scene_update_pre() and scene_update_post()
These run before and after Blender does a scene update on making modifications
to the scene.
* Datablocks now have an is_updated property. This will be set to true in the
above callbacks if the datablock was tagged to be updated. This works for the
most common datablocks used for rendering: object, material, world, lamsp,
texture, mesh, curve.
* Datablock collections also have an is_updated property. If this is set, it
means one datablock of this type was added, removed or modified. It's also
useful as a quick check to avoid looping over all datablocks.
* RenderEngine.view_update() can also check these properties, for interactive
viewport rendering.

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
- WITH_OPENJPEG wasn't defined for creator.c with CMake.
- remove shadowed/redefined vars.
- remove some unused RNA report args.
- re-arrange IMB_FILE_TYPES so IRIS is not the first format tested, since its not very common test JPEG and PNG first.
- rename rna collection structs Main prefix to BlendData: eg, MainObjects --> BlendDataObjects
- printing python collection now prints its type (when available)
- renamed shadowed vars in bpy_rna.c.
- when making functions static I also made debugging/test functions static, reverse and add definitions to headers instead.
- bpy.data.*.load() functions were only accepting UTF-8 paths.
- rna functions/properties now accept byte values rather then strings for file paths.
- bpy.path.resolve_ncase now supports byte objects.
bpy.data.meshes.tag = True
But this was only useful for setting so make it a function for 2.5x.
bpy.data.objects.tag(False)
X3D: use tagging rather then a name dictionary, this fixes a bug where library name overlaps could mix up names.
Removing a scene would set the active scene, assuming the scene removed was the current scene. This broke UV Export which used a temp background scene.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
- some remove() functions took an int argument rather then the item to remove.
- disallow None argument.
- raise an error if the item isnt in the collection.
- if a group has one or more objects in it, it gets a refcount of 1 on load (unchanged from before)
- dupli-groups, and materials no longer add/remove a reference.
- now groups are only freed when they contain no objects or when manually unlinked.
- blend load/save uses os message.
- image load gives os message. (remove check for slash at end of line, just let the os report an error)
- python api load image/font/text raise errors with message (was just retuning None for image and font)
- minor edits to py api errors.
path -> filepath (for rna and operators, as agreed on with elubie)
path -> data_path (for windowmanager context functions, this was alredy used in many places)
- pose markers new/remove
- font load/remove
- world load/remove
- particles new/remove
commented out node-tree for now since from what I can tell these have to be atteched to material/scene/texture (unlike other ID types)
