Also move this to a generic place in SConstruct instead of having this
defines in 6 different configurations.
Should not be functional changes, but please verify all the platforms.
Now we build 2 .cubins per architecture (e.g. kernel_sm_21.cubin, kernel_experimental_sm_21.cubin).
The experimental kernel can be used by switching to the Experimental Feature Set: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Experimental_Features
This enables Subsurface Scattering and Correlated Multi Jitter Sampling on GPU, while keeping the stability and performance of the regular kernel.

Patch by Sergey and myself.
Developer / Builder Note:
CUDA Toolkit 6.5 is highly recommended for this, also note that building the experimental kernel requires a lot of system memory (~7-8GB).
Main idea of this change is to make a small executable which
will set OMP_WAIT_POLICY environment variable and then will
launch blender itself.
This is a teporary solution for the time being we'll have a
more clear solution to high CPU usage with OpenMP when building
with MSVC.

For now it was mainly about OpenCL wrangler being duplicated
between Cycles and Compositor, but with OpenSubdiv work those
wranglers were gonna to be duplicated just once again.
This commit makes it so Cycles and Compositor uses wranglers
from this repositories:
- https://github.com/CudaWrangler/cuew
- https://github.com/OpenCLWrangler/clew
This repositories are based on the wranglers we used before
and they'll be likely continued maintaining by us plus some
more players in the market.
Pretty much straightforward change with some tricks in the
CMake/SCons to make this libs being passed to the linker
after all other libraries in order to make OpenSubdiv linked
against those wranglers in the future.
For those who're worrying about Cycles being less standalone,
it's not truth, it's rather more flexible now and in the future
different wranglers might be used in Cycles. For now it'll
just mean those libs would need to be put into Cycles repository
together with some other libs from Blender such as mikkspace.
This is mainly platform maintenance commit, should not be any
changes to the user space.

Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.
For full list of features see:

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
This way no access to automated tests variables will happen.
Ideally it should be something more like using blenderlite
with just Cycles enabled, but let's keep it for a bigger
clean up.
We should do autotests only after setting path to sconsign,
otherwise using the same working directory and different
build directories will eventually break.
Brings new bounds limiting and also prepares build system
for the changes in the upstream.
Namely shared_ptr header and namespace is now being detected
by a build system rather than by hacks in the code.
This commit includes some changes to auto-detection flags
in SCons, presumably adding more consistency there. This
is main changes which are suppoed to be reviewed here.

- moved assumed location of omp lib to blender libs
- prepared libiomp5 to link out of the box with cmake
- changed according in scons
- introduced a local var C_VENDOR, cause Apple clang 3.4 may not include omp support yet
- added a linklibs for msgfmt ( may not be needed for other than OSX )
this allows for updating icons without committing a new PNG each time
(which is inefficient with git). The data files are converted into a
PNG at builds time and used just as they were before.
Todo: perhaps unify this for all OS, but keep in mind:
Apple compiler versions may have other capabilities
than std gcc, llvm, clang ( other versioning also )
This is needed to resolve the real used compiler from the compatibility shim’S or symlinks.
Also set the real CCVERSION as scons CCVERSION would only read the default one, which
is not useful for OSX
- A richer Problem API.
- DynamicNumericDiffCostFunction.
- Faster ITERATIVE_SCHUR solver.
- Faster SCHUR_JACOBI preconditioner.
- Faster Jacobian evaluation.
- Faster visibility based preconditioning using single linkage clustering.
Also re-wrote rules for unordered collections detection,
should work on all platforms and compilers now :)
