===========
initial merge from BMesh branch,
this replaces the existing mesh format and editmode data structures, for more info see:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.6/Source/Modeling/BMesh
this is the work of quite a few developers over the years.

What to Expect
==============
In general blender shouldnt crash on files or totally fail to load scenes,
painting tools etc have been tested to work.
* its quite easy to make the tesselator fail (show holes, missing faces), with non planer ngons.
* most modifiers are working fine but a few had to be re-written - bevel, array - array is much slower, bevel will probably be changed to match trunk soon.
* NavMesh BGE feature isn't functional yet.
* Some UV sticth tools still need porting.
* hair doesnt work right on ngons yet.
* many python scripts will break.
* a python api to BMesh needs to be written still.
(for todo's in code do a searh for BMESH_TODO)
- Hide Manipulate center points in sculpt and particle edit modes
- Hide 3D manipulators and orientation from sculpt mode
- Hide snap buttons in sculpt, weight, texture, vertex and particle painting modes
All this options weren't make sense in this modes and might only confuse user.
This will resolve issue #30180: 3D View header buttons and modes
For vertex/weight/texture paint, this has only the flags for using
unified size/strength. (Addresses TODO in code, before only sculpt
menu had these settings.)
For sculpt, moved the brush-related settings from the sculpt menu to
the brush menu.
Note that these menus are still very out of date (missing lots of
options), will address that in a different commit.
in existing addons this only effects OBJ import.
interestingly even though this is a bug (in that its returning a placeholder when it should load the image), since the placeholder points to the correct path, the image will load correctly when refreshed, so the bug's not too bad.
This is a kind of simplification/cleanup tool which joins adjacent faces and edges based on the angle.
I've written this as an exercise (since I havnt written a bmesh operator before), and because quite a few users were asking for the dissolve operator to be extended, but I think this kind of functionality needs its own operator.
access from specials menu and mesh menu.
notes
* this exposed a bug in angle_v3v3v3(). will merge fix into trunk after release.
* added utility function BM_vert_edge_angle(), to get the angle between 2 connecting edges of a vert.
Issues was caused by operator props "presets" which was reusing name of property
on every run of OBJECT_OT_game_property_new. This run into conflict with how text
property is determining -- it's stupid name comparsion which worked unexpectable
after adding and removing text property.
Solved by using empty (default) name for game_property_new when crating game property.
- Split display options into two panels:
* Display, which contains all general display options related on editor itself
* Marker Display, which contains options which makes sense for markers themselves
and not used so often.
- Remove Show GPencil option which doesn't actually make sense because strokes might
be disabled from GPencil panel
- Removed Show Pyramid option and show pyramid for KLT tracker as default.
- Added hotkey to toggle Show Disabled (Alt-D)
- Added hotkey to toggle Show Pattern (Alt-S)
Changes in interface and hotkeys are done by Sebastian Koenig.
Thanks for the patch!
Own changes in interface were related on Aspect Ratio. It doesn't make
much sense for tracking (camera pixel aspect is what you'll want to use,
but for masking it would make much more sense because when you just
want to create a mask for footage you don't actually have camera).
Just removing from interface seems not so nice for now.
Merged from soc-2011-tomato rev43872
Initial idea was to perform bilinear filtering for displaying proxied frame
to make it looking a bit smoother. It was done but it was also discovered
that using such kind of texture buffers helps on some crappy videocards
when playing $k footage.
Currently check for NPOT support is disabled, so use this option with care.
