===========================
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.
Added some new star icons for the "solo" toggles in NLA editor.
Unfortunately they look a tad scruffy alongside some of the other
icons, although they should hopefully turn out to be more descriptive
(especially when combined with some drawing tweaks I've got in the
pipeline...)
Animation Editor toggle tweaks:
* By popular request, curve visibility toggles in the Graph Editor are
now represented using the eyeball icons
* Muting is now represented by a speaker icon (a speaker for this
purpose seems fairly common?)
New icons:
* Keying Sets now have their own icons (as found in a proposal on
jendrzych's "Pixel Sized" blog)
* Drivers also have their own icon now. This is just a hacky one I've
devised which doesn't look that great. Suggestions on this are very
welcome.
Committed changes from previous weeks, biggest changes are:
* Canvas can now have multiple "surfaces" that each can have specific format, type and settings.
* Renewed UI to support this new system.
* Aside from old "image sequence" output format, Dynamic Paint can now work on vertex level as well. Currently vertex paint and displace are supported.
* Integrated vertex level painting with Point Cache.
* Added viewport preview for Point Cache surfaces.
Due to massive amount of changes, old Dynamic Paint saves are no longer supported. Also some features are temporarily missing or may not work properly.
* Moved ICON_BLENDER away from (0,0) spot in blenderbuttons, since ICON_BLENDER=0 define is conflicting ICON_NULL define as well as with logic checks for nonzero icon id.
* This solved bug where ICON_BLENDER can't be set from Python as well as when using new UI functions from within Blender.

Mesh Tube > Mesh Cylinder
NURBS Tube > NURBS Cylinder
Metaball Cylinder > Metaball Capsule
I know that naming is something not everyone agrees on, but these terms look geometrically correct.
More icon work
* Added icon defines for all the brushes
* Load all the brush icons after loading regular Blender icons
* Added the brush icons to their respective tool enums in RNA
* Fixed a couple unused-variable warnings
* new icon for split view (at least temporary)
* icon buttons in header rather than popup menus for better efficiency (can easily be changed in python UI script again)
didnt commit this patch because curves are generally better to create a shape to lathe however now that curves can have modifiers applied to them I think its good to have this.
Added options to offset the lathe so it can work like the screw tool as well.
- optional object for axis which also controls the center point.
- screw offset so rather then just lathing this can work more like the screw tool.
- screw optionally using the object distance along the axis.
- iterations so the screw can be applied multiple times.
tested to work well with curves.
Now, temp screens are hidden from being accessed directly, with a new 'Back to Previous' button appearing in place of the screen menu when (for example) fullscreen render image areas are present. Window type menus also get disabled here too, to prevent things from getting too mixed up.
This allows you to set and animate the values of socket inputs and outputs, for example the value node.
It's also a step on the way to manipulating node trees via python (i.e. linking node sockets to each other).
This fixes [#19841] RGB Node in compositor not working
*Put the Modifiers tab *before* the ObData (mesh, curve etc) tab, because modifiers actually apply to Object , not the ObData, even though the opposite would appear to make more sense.
* Buttons header: made tab buttons bigger, remove view menu,
replaced by RMB menu in main region.
* Timeline header: tweak button placement and alignment, added
a play reverse icon.
* Window type chooser menu: removed audio and scripts windows,
change console and logic icons.
* Node space: disable the channel region until it is used.
* Context panel now draws without header, with arrows, no scene name.
* Softbody vertex group search popup.
* Improve names for autogenerated shortcut keys in menus.
* Make most Select menus in the 3D view header work.
* Fix armature border select selection syncing.
* Add POSE_OT_select_constraint_target,
MESH_OT_select_by_number_vertices, MESH_OT_select_vertex_path.
* Merge mesh select similar into one operator.
* Don't give MESH_OT_select_random Space hotkey.
* Add DAG_object_flush_update to many mesh edit tools, not calling this
will crash with modifiers.
* RNA_def_enum_funcs for dynamic enums in operators, but not very useful
without context yet.
* Fix refresh issue with image window header + editmode.
* Fix drawing of shadow mesh for image painting.
* Remove deprecated uiDefMenuButO and uiDefMenuSep functions.
* Remove keyval.c, code is in wm_keymap.c already.
* Rename WM_operator_redo to WM_operator_props_popup.
* Menu and header more complete now.
* Clean up Game Properties panel and moved View Properties panel
to python.
* Fix some drawing issues when combining tiles, repeat and aspect,
some also from 2.4x, these options didn't work together 100%.
* Moved proportional edit, snap, autokey mode, and a few others
from Scene to ToolSettings.
* RNA wrapped properties in ToolSettings for the UV editor:
proportional edit, snap settings, selection modes.
