Some compiling tweaks for cmake / osx 10.5

Printf-style method of calling operations now take a modified format string,
like so:

[opname] [slotname]=%[format code]

Before it was relying on the input format codes being in the same proper
order as the slots, which seemed like a potential maintainance nightmare to
me. Also the flags for creating buffers from bmop flags or header flags,
now support additional modifiers for combining vert/edge/face inputs.
E.g. %hfvef would accept all geometry with a header flag, and
%fef would accept edges and faces with a certain bmop flag set.

Example from the UI code:

if (!EDBM_CallOpf(em, op, "del geom=%hf context=%d", BM_SELECT, DEL_ONLYFACES))
return OPERATOR_CANCELLED;

(remember EDBM_CallOpf is the UI wrapper for this that does conversion,
error reporting, etc).

On todo is cleaning up/splitting bmesh_operators.h,
since it's kindof a mesh right now. I'm thinking of adding the slot
names in comments next to the slot ids, but I definitely would have to
clean up bmesh_operators.h first, or it'd just be too chaotic for me.
BTW, the operator API should now have enough meta info to wrap with
a scripting language, not that it matters since that's not happening till
much much later.

Also hopefully corrected some SConscripts, fix mostly provided by Elia Sarti,
though I also copied some SConscripts from 2.5 (not sure if doing
so was especially helpful).

Finally, I refactored a few places to use the new operator calling api,
as an example of how this is beneficial.

Fix build: don't use Character stuff, it wasn't meant to be included in Blender/extern/bullet2 distro.

2.5 filebrowser
- WIP commit
- bookmarks toggling (region collapsing needs to be done still)
- switching between display types in header (long filenames needs to be done still)

2.5 filebrowser
bugfix: create directories to store thumbnails if they don't exist.

(which was the wrong one. of course)

2.5 / SCons / Win64
- add a very preliminary config.

Upgraded to Bullet 2.74. The upgrade introduced a few bugs, which need to be fixed before Blender 2.49.
In particular, the Bullet vehicle seems broken, and some soft-body demos don't work.
No new features or benefits are added yet, but a few improvements are planned before Blender 2.49 release.

Please update the build systems, and add those 3 files:
extern/bullet2/src/BulletCollision/CollisionDispatch/btActivatingCollisionAlgorithm.cpp
extern/bullet2/src/BulletCollision/CollisionDispatch/btGhostObject.cpp
extern/bullet2/src/BulletCollision/CollisionShapes/btConvexPointCloudShape.cpp

I'll watch the Blender mailing list, in case this commit causes some issues.

And another commit to cleanup a little, this is the last,
next commit add internal font and we can go ahead and remove
ftfont and bmfont.

* errors in bpyui draw scripts were segfaulting
* added PyLineSpit(), useful for debugging so you can easily find the
line of the python script running.

minor update to be compatible with Bullet 2.74 physics:
btPoint3 has been deprecated, it was already a typedef to btVector3
replace std::vector by btAlignedObjectArray when storing Bullet objects, because MSVC STL implementation has some bugs, preventing to contain aligned objects
(btVector3 is 16-byte aligned, to allow SIMD)

scons error

2.5: fix for compiling Carbon clipboard code, forgot to update this line.

2.5 MSVC9 projectfiles
- space_text update

* some more rna stuff in materials

2.5: bugfix, new text space was not initialized correct.

Cleanup a little before add internal font (bmfont).

Created a printf-style method of calling operators. I did this to cut down on duplicated
code, and also because calling operators was such a pain. The basic form of the format
is "opname %[code]", where each % matches to an argument.

The codes are fairly simple:
d - int
i - int
f - float
h[v/e/f] - all verts/edges/faces with a certain header flag.
f[v/e/f] - all verts/edges/faces with a certain flag.

For example:

EDBM_CallOpf(em, op, "dissolveverts %hv", BM_SELECT)

will call the dissolve verts operator.

The relevent functions are:
//calls a bmesh operator, doing necassary conversions and error reporting.
int EDBM_CallOpf(EditMesh *em, struct wmOperator *op, char *fmt, ...);

//execute an operator
int BMO_CallOpf(BMesh *bm, char *fmt, ...);
//initializes but doesn't execute an op.
int BMO_InitOpf(BMesh *bm, BMOperator *op, char *fmt, ...);
//vlist version of above.
int BMO_VInitOpf(BMesh *bm, BMOperator *op, char *fmt, va_list vlist);

Note this system is dependant on getting the slot codes from the argument
order. I'd like to make it better, possibly pass in slot names, but that'd
mean actually giving the slots names (which I can do, but wanted to discuss with
Briggs and others what I have now first).

Fixed an issue regarding render layers. Now the Freestyle renderer builds a view map based on selected object layers in a render layer, instead of the global selection of object layers. This allows, for example, to have two render layers, one for rendering solid faces in all object layers, and the other for rendering outlines of objects in selected object layers by Freestyle. At the moment, the number of Freestyle-enabled render layers is restricted to one -- a better fix is in the future work.

more tweaks to triangulator. also added a bmeshutils.c file in editors/mesh for ui-related bmesh functions. and made delete only faces use the bmesh del operator, so it can handle ngons.
