softbody bugfix
evil typo causing crashes

Changed the UI of the EdgeSplit modifier, based on broken's feedback from
long ago:
- "From Angle" is now "From Edge Angle"
- "From Flag" is now "From Marked As Sharp"
- The "Split Angle" input is now hidden if "From Edge Angle" is unchecked
- Changed tooltips to be (hopefully) more helpful
- Rearranged buttons to accommodate longer labels

add DNA_meshdata_types.h for MTFace

* remove a stray ; and place a declaration before any actual code. msvc8 was falling over these. GCC needs some good spanking for allowing this type of code to
get through by compiling it

* Suggestion from Lazareus in IRC, deselect objects when they are made
invisible in the 3D View, so no unintended commands apply to them

=typo fix=

include was "listbase.h"

apparently is supposed to be listBase.h found by Lazareus on irc

* The raw blenderbuttons image (note, I've updated interface_icons.c to now use the extra space on the right side of this image, since we'd run out of room)

* Object level restrictions in outliner

This adds the ability to restrict an individual object from:
- being visible in the 3D View
- being selectable in the 3D View
- being renderable
with 3 columns of buttons in the outliner.

These restrictions are further down the hierarchy than layers, so for example if an object is in an invisible layer, it will be invisible regardless of whether the object's own visibility setting is on or off. This works on a different conceptual level than layers, being better for more quick interaction (like temporarily making a mesh unselectable while you're posing its armature), rather than so much for scene organisation.

The 3 columns of icons can be turned off in the Outliner View menu.

Along with this is some small cleaning up in interface_icons.c and outliner.c.

Added custom vertex/edge/face data for meshes:

All data layers, including MVert/MEdge/MFace, are now managed as custom
data layers. The pointers like Mesh.mvert, Mesh.dvert or Mesh.mcol are
still used of course, but allocating, copying or freeing these arrays
should be done through the CustomData API.

Work in progress documentation on this is here:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/BlenderArchitecture/CustomData


Replaced TFace by MTFace:

This is the same struct, except that it does not contain color, that now
always stays separated in MCol. This was not a good design decision to
begin with, and it is needed for adding multiple color layers later. Note
that this does mean older Blender versions will not be able to read UV
coordinates from the next release, due to an SDNA limitation.


Removed DispListMesh:

This now fully replaced by DerivedMesh. To provide access to arrays of
vertices, edges and faces, like DispListMesh does. The semantics of the
DerivedMesh.getVertArray() and similar functions were changed to return
a pointer to an array if one exists, or otherwise allocate a temporary
one. On releasing the DerivedMesh, this temporary array will be removed
automatically.


Removed ssDM and meshDM DerivedMesh backends:

The ssDM backend was for DispListMesh, so that became obsolete automatically.
The meshDM backend was replaced by the custom data backend, that now figures
out which layers need to be modified, and only duplicates those.


This changes code in many places, and overall removes 2514 lines of code.
So, there's a good chance this might break some stuff, although I've been
testing it for a few days now. The good news is, adding multiple color and
uv layers should now become easy.

Updated tooltips in matte nodes to better explain their use. Made the names of the matte nodes more consistent.

Minor change to to how luminance detail is added to alpha channel in chroma key node.

Removed unused inputs in chroma key and luminance key nodes.

Changed chroma key controls back to sliders because I think they offer the user a more intuitive interface to the node.

Render Baking:

- Bugfix: vertex normals were still flipped around, to match viewpoint
rendering.
- New: option to bake a texture+material only

=ID Properties Python Update=

ID Properties binding have now been added for textures. Also,
the beginnings of supporting "del IDProperty Object" (which
basically removes the property from it's parent group then frees
it) in python were done; really the only thing now is to figure
out exactly *how* you overload the del operator. :S

CMake: Turn special features off by default to increase the compile
out-of-the-box chances for most devs.

Long waited feature: Render Baking

Here's the full release log with example file.
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Render_Baking.827.0.html

For people who don't read docs; just press ALT+CTRL+B on a Mesh
with texture faces!

Todos:
- maybe some filter options extra?
- Make normal maps in Tangent space

* Replaced the three X/Y/Z sliders that controlled the texture size in sculpt
mode with a single slider. (Doesn't seem likely the user is going to want to
scale in one axis differently from another.) Additionally, the new slider
works correctly in Tile mode in addition to 3D mode. In Tile mode, the slider
value is considered pixel units.

In the process, found and fixed a few sculptmode bugs
* When loading a file that is already in sculptmode, initialize sculptdata
as soon as the first sculpt/partial-visibility operation occurs
* Bug in the undo_push code; reading from free'd memory

Animation system:

Bugfix #5027: Deleting Shape key sometimes caused corruption to Ipo curves.
sort_key() was moving key but not resorting adrcodes for keys and Ipo curves.

Also changed behavior of sort_key() so that it only resorts one key; all the
places which currently call it only do so after changing one key (the
previous code was moving the key one location at a time through the keyblock
list).

Fix for bug #5250: inaccurate conversion between edit and pose mode bones.

Using acos(dot(u, v)) to find the angle between two vectors is quite
inaccurate, and there's a better way to do it, as explained here:
http://www.plunk.org/~hatch/rightway.php

Also changed the use of atan for computing roll to atan2 in some places,
the latter avoids accuracy and division by zero issues.

Disabled some code which I added to make the markers menu only
display in action editor header when there was a set of markers +
an action.

Generalized the sculptmode propset (DKEY) to work with strength as well as
brush size. Pressing the key once does brush size (same as before), then
pressing it a second time switches to setting brush strength.

CMake: Remove blender_img from sorted link list as it has been renamed/replaced
