Notes:
* Did not touch to addons, that's up to the authors. ;)
* Did not removed any "name" field below lists. We might want to do this in some cases (less UI clutter), but probably not always, so will let maintainers of the related areas decide here.
* Remove "Edge" post processing effect and the corresponding render layer.
Since we have freestyle, this is not needed anymore and was a very simple effect anyway (Zbuffer filter effect, could be added to the compositor if really needed again).

* Make the gap for the filtering options slightly bigger, so 1 row doesn't look so cluttered.
* Default Render Layer and Particle System list in the Properties Editor to 1 row as well, to save space.
Some enums' items actually are generated from data (like the render layers of compo nodes), so they should not be translated. Added a PROP_ENUM_NO_TRANSLATE new RNA flag to tag those enums (only found those for nodes, but may be more of them around).
Also fix similar issue in main list of render layers (Py UI code! :P ).
* Cycles Render layers UI was broken after freestyle merge (changes were not merged). Did manual edits now with some tweaks.
* Some layout fixes for Mask Layer.
* Removed the ../include and ../src include directories from scons/cmake files.
These directories do not exist and are very noisy when building.
* Coding style clean-up in Python scripts: 'string' is used for enum values,
and "string" for usual stings.
* UILayout.active is used instead of UILayout.enabled to grey out "inactive"
settings. This still allows users to edit them, which can be handy sometimes.
* Improved UI layout of the Line Style panel by means of:
- The standard “column” paradigm is used in more places;
- More compact layout where possible; and
- Tweaks to the modifiers' header.
* Improved UI layout of the Line Set panel by rearranging the "Selection by"
options into a compact row of toggle buttons.
when combined with geometry modifiers.
The problem is that users were not able to choose the time when the
dashed line options are applied. Instead, the dashed line options were
applied only before geometry modifiers were employed. Since dashes were
separate strokes, the geometry modifiers were processed dash by dash.
Depending on users' artistic intention, this may or may not lead to
expected stylization results, as reported by octane98 in the
BlenderArtists Freestyle thread on January 3, 2012.

Now the Strokes tab of the Freestyle Line Style panel has two sets of
dashed line options. One is in the Splitting section of the Strokes tab
and used for splitting strokes by dashed line patterns. The other set
is called "Dashed Line" and used to generate dashed lines based on the
strokes after the geometry modifiers are applied. The two sets of
dashed line options are independent of each other, so that users can
enable one of them as well as both at the same time.
the big layers panel in three, and fixing Freestyle's panels poll function to hide
them when Freestyle is disabled.
Patch contribution by Bastien Montagne, thanks!
This commit makes a set of fixes and improvements based on the results of
Freestyle branch review by Brecht. The discussion thread is:
http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2012-October/037927.html
* The Layers panel and Freestyle-related panels in the Render tab of the
Properties window were moved to the newly created Render Layers tab.
The idea is to separate per render layer rendering options into a distinct
Properties window tab, and use the existing Render tab to accommodate
per scene rendering options.
* The new Freestyle panel was added in the Render tab. The panel header
contains a toggle button for globally enabling Freestyle, with the aim of making
Freestyle easier to find. Those Freestyle options in the Post Processing panel
were also moved to the new panel.
* GUI code was updated so that UI controls will be greyed out (instead of
being hidden) when Freestyle is disabled. Additional UI changes were also
made to reduce space consumption.
* The list of line sets was moved from the Freestyle panel to the Freestyle:
Line Sets panel.
* Old ray-casting algorithms were removed from the UI. Now only two
algorithms (culled and non-culled cumulative visibility detection algorithms)
are available, and the selection is done by the new "Culling" toggle button
within the edge detection options.
