Bugfix #3112

Mesh selection in editmode didnt work proper with new ALT+B clip option.

Bugfix #3115

Undo after you did a layer change, didn't restore the 'active layer' in the
3d window. Adding a new object then is invisble.

- Added shadow buffer support for wire material and particle strands
(Since strands are screen-aligned, it didn't fill in OK yet)

No shadow;

Text3d.c NULL pointer check added to get rid of MEM_freeN warning.

cu->strinfo reallocation added to Text3d.c, so when setText is executed
the strinfo is reallocated to include strlen(cu->str) amount of free memory

New hair "strand" channel has wrong texture coord input... it rendered
from 0 - 1, instead of -1 to 1. Thats fixed.
The error made tests i did with alpha make nice though, apparently hairs
are nicer when rendered with alpha range 0.0 to 0.5.

Storage of ME_FACE_STEPINDEX in mface iwas same flag as for new
anisotropic, causing nice interesting render errors.

Orange report bug; Adding a new scene, choose "link obdata" gives corrupt
memory. Poses should be relinked right after duplicating, not during a
redraw (when more objects use same armature).

Added in readfile a patch to make sure files saved with this duplicate
error can still be used.

Fix Python API to correctly create Text3D objects. This is just a
temporary fix (duplicating code again), the *real* fix would be to once
make one central function to create and init a text object for all
places...

I also tried to introduce compatibility code to be able to load old files
with broken text objects (cu->tb == NULL due to missing init code).

Hope it works :)

- Added "anisotropic" rendering for static particle hair strands.
This means the diffuse and specular shaders don't use the normal
for hair (which is actually undefined, a hair is micro cylinder) but
it uses the tangent vector (vector in direction of hair).

For Diffuse, it computes a fake normal now, representing the optimal
hair normal pointing towards the light. All current builtin shaders
work with this, including ramps.

For Specular, it uses another formula to remap dot products for all
lines that now use the tangent vector instead of the normal:

dot = vector * tangent
dot = sqrt(1.0 - dot*dot)

Gives better results than using the 'fake' normal for diffuse. Officially
(according the papers) this could be used for diffuse too, but then hair
becomes very flat. Now you can control the flatness easily with ramps or
using Oren-Nayer for example.

- Added new texture channel "Strand" to apply textures on hairs over the
length of hair (1 dimensional). Orco now gives 1 fixed coordinate for
the entire hair, based on where it starts.
Note; UV doesn't work yet. Nor vertexcolor.

fix Curve.update() method to use new DAG features.

projectfile update to elbeem
* fixed lib paths
* removed files
* fix preprocessor define

- added stub for elbeemDebugOut in
source/blender/blenkernel/bad_level_call_stubs/stubs.c
for read/write bobj debug output

- corrected MSVC6 fix in ntl_vector3dim.h (caused problems with SDL includes)
- removed print from SConscript

- removed some unecessary files & code
- debug output now controlled globally by elbeem debug level
(BLENDER_ELBEEMDEBUG environment var), also for fluidsimBake
and read/writeBobj
- debug output is written to file for WIN32
- added "for" and "vector" etc. defines for MSVC6
(I couldnt get hold of the compiler itself, so not tested yet)

added missing DAG call to image_aspect.

* Headers for the last Set Smooth commit

* Added 'Set Smooth' and 'Set Solid' to the mesh edit mode specials menu/toolbox/3d view menu so you don't always have to keep switching back to edit buttons.

Brought back (lost with modifier code) display of actual amount of faces
for subsurfs in info header.

Bugfix;

Ipo window could crash on reading old files with keys, non proper use
of pointer...
