Add operator to extract armature and vertex groups from skin.

* The operator creates bones for each input edge (does not subdivide
them like the skin operator does), adds a fake root bone for skin
roots with multiple children.

* The operator adds vertex weight groups to the original mesh.

* Make copy_object_transform() public, used to match the armature
object to the mesh object.

Add skin vertex operators.

* Add operator to mark selected vertices as skin roots.
* Add operator to mark/clear selected vertices as loose.
* Add operator to equalize skin radii.

Draw skin vertex roots in edit mode.

Roots are drawn with a view-oriented dashed red circle around the
vertex location. The circle's radius is the average if the skin
vertex's X and Y radii.

Add new theme-able color, TH_SKIN_ROOT.

Bumped file version from 263.5 to 263.6 to ensure the default
TH_SKIN_ROOT color gets set.

Add skin modifier: DNA, RNA, UI, and MOD_skin.c implementation.

Implementation based in part off the paper "B-Mesh: A Fast Modeling
System for Base Meshes of 3D Articulated Shapes" (Zhongping Ji,
Ligang Liu, Yigang Wang)

Note that to avoid confusion with Blender's BMesh data structure,
this tool is renamed as the Skin modifier.

The B-Mesh paper is current available here:
http://www.math.zju.edu.cn/ligangliu/CAGD/Projects/BMesh/

The main missing features in this code compared to the paper are:

* No mesh evolution. The paper suggests iteratively subsurfing the
skin output and adapting the output to better conform with the
spheres of influence surrounding each vertex.

* No mesh fairing. The paper suggests re-aligning output edges to
follow principal mesh curvatures.

* No auxiliary balls. These would serve to influence mesh
evolution, which as noted above is not implemented.

The code also adds some features not present in the paper:

* Loops in the input edge graph.

* Concave surfaces around branch nodes. The paper does not discuss
how to handle non-convex regions; this code adds a number of
cleanup operations to handle many (though not all) of these
cases.

Add Mesh equivalent to BM_edge_other_vert().

/* Return the index of the edge vert that is not equal to 'v'. If
* neither edge vertex is equal to 'v', returns -1. */
int BKE_mesh_edge_other_vert(const struct MEdge *e, int v);

Add new BMesh length query functions.

BMEdge *BM_face_find_shortest_edge(BMFace *f);
BMEdge *BM_face_find_longest_edge(BMFace *f);

fix for bmesh api example
worth noticing is that the example in bpy.types.Mesh is wrong too (Mesh type does not have an uv element)
but I would prefer someone more familiar with bmesh to take a look at those

Add MVertSkin DNA/RNA and customdata (CD_MVERT_SKIN).

The MVertSkin currently just stores local skin radii and skin
flags (MVertSkinFlag).

A number of new features for the node editor in general and the Frame node in particular.
For an detailed user-level description of new features see the following blogpost:

http://code.blender.org/index.php/2012/05/node-editing-tweaks/

TL;DR:
* Frame node gets more usable bounding-box behavior
* Node resizing has helpful mouse cursor indicators and works on all borders
* Node selection/active colors are themeable independently
* Customizable background colors for nodes (useful for frames visual
distinction).

code cleanup: key/interpolation

expose absolute shape keyblock interpolation in the ui

style cleanup: mmap_win32

Disable building of CUDA 1.3 kernels for cycles for win32 cmake and mingw32 scons. They were already disabled for scons MSVC 32bit.

Fix for customdata layer copying. Issue was caused by mixing up of destination and source in copy function. Also fixed an error in Py API, check to see if layers were different should be check to see if they're the same.

move select operations into their own file

fix for error in last commit and minor speedup to looping over edges.

* Composite result is updated when editing (preview were already
calculated, now the final result is also updated in the image space
* default texture size when not connected to any resolution depended
operation defaults to render size
