Removed the redundant cache exporter class from the pointcache lib.

Writing in C++ is a little bit more convenient, but this functionality
does not require the additional level of complexity.

Support for shading "normals" in strand rendering.

Note that the fixed-function OpenGL pipeline does not support true
strand normals. The shading model used copies the method implemented for
particles, using the edge directions as normals. This is totally
unphysical but at least gives some indication of direction. Viewport
refactor and programmable shaders are needed to make this work nicer.

Store the overall result of cache reading in the DupliCache.

This is used to prevent empty dupli lists when reading the cache fails.
In that case the duplilist function will now revert to default scene
evaluation.

Extend the cache reading function to take the result archive into account.

Minor Cleanup

Reorganization of file paths and input/output workflow in cache
libraries.

Having a cache archive output in each modifier is not really practical.

Now the cache library has at most 2 file paths. These are used based on
2 associated settings: source mode/path and display mode/path.

* The SOURCE mode determines whether the original scene data is used as
input or a cache archive. If the scene input is used the dupli group
objects will be evaluated as usual with Mesh data, modifiers, proxy
armatures, etc.. With cache input the data stored in a cache is used to
override the scene data instead.
* The DISPLAY mode is essentially a toggle for the whole cache modifier
stack. If it is set to 'source' the respective source data is used
without further modification. If set to 'result' the data from the
output cache archive is used, which can be generated using the bake
operator. During baking the data will be passed through the cache
modifiers to create a variation of the original source data.

Merge branch 'master' into wiggly-widgets

refactor vertex attrib handling

Found lots of commonality between generic and legacy attributes.

Also fixed an error found by flipping all the defines on & off.

delete temp file

from merge conflict resolution, didnâ??t mean to commit

remove unused attrib print routines

add support for non-generic vertex attribs

for easier integration into legacy GL usage.

Instead of specifying generic arrays with a name string, choose any or
all of these:

GL_VERTEX_ARRAY
GL_NORMAL_ARRAY
GL_COLOR_ARRAY
GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY

Generic attribs are still there for when we move to shader-based
drawing / a newer GL.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into multiview

Way too many conflicts this time, and the last merge was less than 10
days ago! Sequencer was what changed the most (the proxy commits in
master) but I think the changes are all good in multiview now (I haven't
tested them, but the code seems fine).

minor cleanup

Double the strength of length-weight smoothing

Generally this has the same effect as simple-smooth at 1.0

Optimize simple smoothing, approx 60% faster

Comment tweaks

remove asm, committed by accident

Minor edits, preparing for master

Show message when bind data is missing

Add in support for calculating the base-coords from the editmesh
