f99343d3b8 Cycles: Render Passes
Currently supported passes:
* Combined, Z, Normal, Object Index, Material Index, Emission, Environment,
  Diffuse/Glossy/Transmission x Direct/Indirect/Color

Not supported yet:
* UV, Vector, Mist

Only enabled for CPU devices at the moment, will do GPU tweaks tommorrow,
also for environment importance sampling.

238f3a7d34 Cycles: seed value to get different noise values from renders, there was a patch
for this but I've implemented it differently.

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.

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:
