27d647dcf8 Cycles: 4 new nodes.
* Tangent: generate a tangent direction for anisotropic shading. Can be either
  radial around X/Y/Z axis, or from a UV map. The default tangent for the
  anisotropic BSDF and geometry node is now always radial Z, for UV tangent use
  this node now.

* Normal Map: generate a perturbed normal from an RGB normal map image. This
  is usually chained with an Image Texture node in the color input, to specify
  the normal map image. For tangent space normal maps, the UV coordinates for
  the image must match, and the image texture should be set to Non-Color mode
  to give correct results.

* Refraction BSDF: for best results this node should be considered as a building
  block and not be used on its own, but rather mixed with a glossy node using a
  fresnel type factor. Otherwise it will give quite dark results at the edges for
  glossy refraction.

* Ambient Occlusion: controls the amount of AO a surface receives, rather than
  having just a global factor in the world. Note that this outputs a shader and
  not a color, that's for another time.

9a1c1f132d Cycles OSL: most closure code is now shared between OSL and SVM. Also fix
transmission pass and filter glossy option.

The BSDF closure class is now more similar to the SVM closures, and includes
some flags and labels that are needed to properly categorize the BSDF's for
render passes. Phong closure is gone for the moment, needs to be adapated to
the new structure still.

78978dcd80 Fix for a case of 'static initialization fiasco' with OSL closure variables. The parameter lists are using OIIO::TypeDesc static standards, which are also static variables. With static OSL libraries these are not initialized when the closure parameter lists are initialized, so OSL rejects the closure types.
Putting static initialization into functions works just as well, but ensures the OIIO::TypeDesc access is delayed until initialization is complete.

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:

* Sobol direction vectors from:
