qtkit : improve thread safety, enforce build on OSX 10.5+
qtkit movie creation functions can be started in a worker thread only from OSX 10.5

* Restored the "Solid OpenGL lamps" Buttons in user Preferences.

experemental UI introspection added for mindrones,
in python this gives a map of the ui...
ui_dict = eval(layout.introspect())

UI:
* Convert pose buttons in the 3dview header to uiItems. Fixes the spacing between pose buttons and opengl render buttons.

BGE: ray casting works on soft body, the hit polygon is also returned. The modifications to Bullet have been reported to Bullet forum. Note: welding is completely disabled on soft body as it breaks the relationship between the soft body collision shape and the graphics mesh without bringing any additional stability (the reverse actually).

UI:
* Added icons for the 3d manipulator RNA
* Fixed the snap RNA icon (was off by one)

py/rna api
- object.modifiers.add()/remove()
- armature.edit_bones.active wasnt named correctly

Mesh Deform Modifier

* Now support a Surface mode next to the existing Volume mode. This binds
the mesh to the cage mesh surface rather than it's volume.
* Implemented reusing the bone heat weighting code.
* Advantage is that it works for cage meshes that are not volumes and that
binding is much faster.
* Weak point is that disconnected components of a mesh are not guaranteed
to stick together (same problem exists with bone heat weighting).
* Bind weights could still be compressed better to use less memory.

Math Lib: merging over some changes from the sculpt branch:

* swap v2/v3
* multiply-and-add (madd) v3
* inline v3 short/float conversion
* mul_v3_m3v3

Rename 'Object Center' to 'Centroid'. This makes the Center/Center Cursor etc popup menu much easier to understand.

Fixed some more names after the Python UI API changes

Bugfix #20127: Crash in dope sheet when opening regression file

Was using wrong pointer to action/keyframe data for shapekey expander channels causing crash

A few new mouse navigation config options to help transitioning users

* Dolly zoom Vertical/Horizontal switch
Changes between using vertical or horizontal mouse movement for zooming

* Invert Zoom Direction
Inverts the vertical or horizontal mouse movement for dolly zoom

* New tool - Join as Shapes

Available in object mode (Object -> Join as Shapes), only works for meshes at
the present. Will merge all selected objects as shape keys on the active object,
if the vertex count is the same.

This does not keep references to the external objects like in some applications,
rather it's a quick way to update the shapes on the active object (perhaps after
importing new versions from external applications).

Durian Rigging Requests: (Armature Layers + Rotation Locking Tweaks)

* Increased the number of Armature and Bone Layers from 16 to 32. Please note that older versions of Blender may not correctly resolve the layers that bones are on when loading new files.

* Newly added objects are now made by default to allow locking of 4-component rotations using 4 separate locks (i.e. one by component) instead of requiring the obscure 'W' toggle (renamed '4L' now) to be enabled first. The objects in the default scene need modifying manually though.

Head/Tail property was never added for Track To and Stretch To constraint types. Added to RNA and changed UI check.

Bugfix #20125: View 2D Zoom to Border was missing modal keymap

TODO: a better keymap for specifying zoom in or out mapped to LMB and RMB respectively for zoom to border is required. The current behaviour only allows zoom in...
