* Added per surface options "influence scale" and "radius scale" for tweaking brush settings individually for each surface.
* Added option to completely disable drying. This should be nice for indefinitely spreading paint etc.
* Improved paint mixing algorithm.
* "Paint effects" now work in relative mesh space instead of global. This means that effect speed remains same for identical shapes regardless of their size.
* Complete rewrite of "spread effect" algorithm. It now works much better in all test cases done. Old algo sometimes produced artifacts and stopped spreading too early.
* Adjustments / rewrite on some parts of dripping algorithm to make it work better with transparent paint.
* Added a new "color dry" setting. It can be used to define wetness level when paint colors start to shift to surface "background". Lower values can be useful to prevent spreading paint from becoming transparent as it dries, while higher (default) values give better results in general.
* Fix: If multiple displace/wave surfaces were used simultaneously, displace was applied using wrong normal.
Please note that due to these changes in "paint effects" system older save files may require some tweaking to match results from previous versions.
==================================
Merging Carve library integration project into the trunk.
This commit switches Boolean modifier to another library which handles
mesh boolean operations in much stable and faster way, resolving old
well-known limitations of intern boolop library.
Carve is integrating as alternative interface for boolop library and
which makes it totally transparent for blender sources to switch between
old-fashioned boolop and new Carve backends.
Detailed changes in this commit:
- Integrated needed subset of Carve library sources into extern/
Added script for re-bundling it (currently works only if repo
was cloned by git-svn).
- Added BOP_CarveInterface for boolop library which can be used by
Boolean modifier.
- Carve backend is enabled by default, can be disabled by WITH_BF_CARVE
SCons option and WITH_CARVE CMake option.
- If Boost library is found in build environment it'll be used for
unordered collections. If Boost isn't found, it'll fallback to TR1
implementation for GCC compilers. Boost is obligatory if MSVC is used.
Tested on Linux 64bit and Windows 7 64bit.
NOTE: behavior of flat objects was changed. E.g. Plane-Sphere now gives
plane with circle hole, not plane with semisphere. Don't think
it's really issue because it's not actually defined behavior in
such situations and both of ways might be useful. Since it's
only known "regression" think it's OK to deal with it.

Special thanks to:
- Ken Hughes: author of original carve integration patch.
- Campbell Barton: help in project development, review tests.
- Tobias Sargeant: author of Carve library, help in resolving some
merge stoppers, bug fixing.
This also fixes cursor movement in the beginning of line and adds do_versions block for converting text files with old extended ascii encoding into UTF-8.
It seems to be working now, however make sure to build against the exact same
python version as the one you will use it with, the version in the lib/darwin*
directory is likely to differ from python installed on your system.
- added back 2.4x 'Vgroup' option to the UI, restricts painting to verts already in the group.
- remove 'All Faces' button in weight paint mode. it doesn't do anything.
- store brush_alpha() result so it doesnt need to be called for each vertex when paitning.
- use _pressure suffix rather then _final to show the pressure has been applied.
- weight paint was needlessly calculateing the test weight when multipaint was enabled.
Things like brush size and strength accessors now take a scene
parameter rather than guessing about which Scene's unified paint
settings to use.
Setting the size/strength through RNA can now be done separately for
the brush or the UnifiedPaintSettings.
The UI python code required updating to check whether the
size/strength controls should use brush or UnifiedPaintSettings RNA.
Radial control also required some updates to switch between the two
RNA sources.
