72d2d05770 Cycles: border rendering support, includes some refactoring in how pixels are
accessed on devices.

9e01abf777 Cycles: require Experimental to be set to enable CUDA on cards with shader model
lower than 1.3, since we're not officially supporting these. We're already not
providing CUDA binaries for these, so better make it clear when compiling from
source too.

086e4ed825 Cycles: improve error reporting for opencl and cuda, showing error messages in
viewport instead of only console.

bb379c06e9 Cycles: progress printing in background mode, print finished at the end and
avoid duplicate prints.

66b1dfae89 Cycles: tweaks to properties and nodes
* Passes renamed to samples
* Camera lens radius renamed to aperature size/blades/rotation
* Glass and fresnel nodes input is now index of refraction
* Glossy and velvet fresnel socket removed
* Mix/add closure node renamed to mix/add shader node
* Blend weight node added for shader mixing weights

There is some version patching code for reading existing files, but it's not
perfect, so shaders may work a bit different.

ebc653463d Cycles:
* Fix missing update when editing objects with emission materials.
* Fix preview pass rendering set to 1 not showing full resolution.
* Fix CUDA runtime compiling failing due to missing cache directory.
* Use settings from first render layer for visibility and material override.

And a bunch of incomplete and still disabled code mostly related to closure
sampling.

cfbd6cf154 Cycles:
* OpenCL now only uses GPU/Accelerator devices, it's only confusing if CPU
  device is used, easy to enable in the code for debugging.
* OpenCL kernel binaries are now cached for faster startup after the first
  time compiling.
* CUDA kernels can now be compiled and cached at runtime if the CUDA toolkit
  is installed. This means that even if the build does not have CUDA enabled,
  it's still possible to use it as long as you install the toolkit.

9b31cba74e Cycles: some warning fixes, cpu device task tweaks, avoid unnecessary
tonemap in non-viewport render, and some utility functions.

db1664ed4c Cycles:
* Compute MD5 hash to deal with nvidia opencl compiler cache not recognizing
  changes in #included files, makes it possible to do kernel compile only
  once and remember it for the next time blender is started.
* Kernel tweak to compile with ATI/linux. Enabling any more functionality than
  simple clay render still chokes the compiler though, without a specific error
  message ..

3c7dcd7a47 Cycles: compile opencl kernels in non-blocking thread, and don't crash on
build failure but show error message in status text.

160d8f6c0c Cycles: fix cuda assertion that could be triggerd sometimes, when trying to
tonemap an empty image.

47fb31404f Cycles: preview passes setting to set the max number of passes to render in
the viewport working now, set to 0 for unlimited (well, actually 2147483647).

bae896691a Cycles:
* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
  internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
  alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
  the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.

* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
  because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.

48b4de3152 Cycles:
* auto/fixed threads option is used now, patch by Thomas.
* remove unused CUDA_LIBRARIES, library is dynamically loaded
* fix mesh XML export operator for API update

da376e0237 Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs":
http://code.google.com/p/understanding-the-efficiency-of-ray-traversal-on-gpus/
* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:
http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/
* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
* Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools:
http://code.google.com/p/nvidia-mesh-tools/
* Sobol direction vectors from:
http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~fkuo/sobol/
* Film response functions from:
