9ebfcea8f3 Cycles: revert commit that joined surface/volume socket into a single shader socket,
on second thought this makes it a bit too difficult to understand what's going on.

7503a7edfb Cycles: replace surface/volume sockets in output nodes with a single shader socket,
decided it's better to render objects as either surface or volume.

This may break the volume rendering patch, but shaders with volume closures still
get tagged as having volume closures, so it should be fixable without too many
changes.

cdee3435c6 Cycles: internal changes that should have no effect on user level yet, added
shader flags for various purposes, and some code for light types other than
points.

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.

df625253ac Cycles:
* Add max diffuse/glossy/transmission bounces
* Add separate min/max for transparent depth
* Updated/added some presets that use these options
* Add ray visibility options for objects, to hide them from
  camera/diffuse/glossy/transmission/shadow rays
* Is singular ray output for light path node

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.

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:
