tedious string copying changes
- use sizeof() in more places.
- fixed some off by 1 bugs copying strings. setting curve font family for instance was 1 char too short.
- replace strncpy and strcpy with BLI_strncpy

workaround/fix for [#24540] Adding the path to an image Editor in the file preferences window messes up the path
when selecting paths from the user preferences always default relative option to off.
otherwise you get paths like '//........Program FilesGIMP-2.0bingimp-2.6.exe'

centralize function for calculating pixel size. (no functional changes)

added back include file globbing for cmake, thought this was needed for MSVC only but turns out QtCreator also needs this else it wont index headers.

'Continue' zoom method for 2d views wasn't continuously updating. added a timer so it works like the 3D view.

incorrect poll function for clearing/applying loc/rot/scale.
Without an active object it wasn't possible to clear location on the selected objects for eg.

fix for missing NULL check with brush poll, reported by Mike S.

fix for linking the player, also fixes building without python and bullet.

Bugfix #24535: File saved with NLA Strip in Tweakmode crashes on reload

Now the active strip doesn't just get cleared on fileload, but is relinked properly.

I had originally intended that files shouldn't be able to be saved with NLA data still in Tweakmode, but this turns out to be a bit more troublesome to get working as that would make undo keep popping out of this mode too.

Also reverting 32743 (bugfix for 24418), which was a hack around this.

Temporary fix for "freezing when pointcache is baked":
* WM_timecursor is broken somehow, so pointcache baking makes the cursor disappear.
* For user this seems like blender has frozen although it's just a matter of no progress indication.
* This fix just sets the default "busy" cursor for the whole duration of baking and reports progress in the console.
* If there's and easy fix for this then it should probably be done straight away, but I want to re-implement baking using the job system soon anyways, so a proper fix for this is not strictly necessary.

Fix for [#24510] VSE SceneStrip problem when rendering animation

Fix for [#24513] VSE curves displaced from effect when source is moved numerically

Global definition of _LARGEFILE_SOURCE, _FILE_OFFSET_BITS and _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE at linux and win32/mingw platforms

Needed to work properly with large files at 32bit system (display correct size in file browser, i.e.)

This will also fix compilation with zlib 1.2.5

for some reason even though this resizes areas more evenly on my system (and works ok on Brecht's) theres a report that resizing views fail.
[#24529] Views Resizing Problems

now this is exactly like what it was before, hope its fixed.

Fix #24388: multires base mesh

- MDisp should be re-allocated if face changed amount of vertices
- Allocate disps array in layerSwap_mdisps to prevent loosing all highres data

bugfix [#24009] Crash when switching area types and performing ops

warn if blender is compiled without python

fix to allow [#24009] to be fixed.

WM_operator_poll() could fail in cases WM_operator_name_call() would succeed because calling the operator would setup the context before calling poll.
this would result in python raising an invalid error or menu items being greyed out.

now python can also check with an operator context:
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle.poll('INVOKE_SCREEN')

Fix #24531: UV editor: setting rotating/scaling pivot with [ , ] [ . ] not working.
Patch by M.G. Kishalmi, thanks!

Fix #24523: deep shadows are rendered although object's shadow casting is disabled.
