Should resolve compilation error on some platforms when using linux and
compilation error of libmv on FreeBSB.
It was a regression caused by not applied changes on config_linux.h
and some changes made to utilities.cc were also occasionally missed.
This version of libmv includes new gflags and glog libraries which makes
it possible to compile libmv with clang compiler.
Also remove code from CMakeLists which was disabling libmv if using clang.
Tested on linux with gcc-4.6 and clang-3.0, windows cmake+msvc and scons+mingw.
Could be some issues with other platforms/build system which shall be simple to resolve.
Needed to make constants like M_E defined in msvc. Was occasionally
removed on moving main changes in libmv from patch files in blender
repo to won repo (rev44190).
Error was caused by boost library (which doesn't seem to be working with Cycles too
when compiling with mingw). Switched mingw to use TR1 unordered collections. Also,
there was re-declaration of strcasecmp when mingw is used.
Additional changes are related on using own process spawning when BF_TOOLSET is set to
mingw. Seems to be working fine now (i've got too long command line error) and no
warning are supressing now (as it was told in comment for commented own process spawning).
==================================
Merging Carve library integration project into the trunk.
This commit switches Boolean modifier to another library which handles
mesh boolean operations in much stable and faster way, resolving old
well-known limitations of intern boolop library.
Carve is integrating as alternative interface for boolop library and
which makes it totally transparent for blender sources to switch between
old-fashioned boolop and new Carve backends.
Detailed changes in this commit:
- Integrated needed subset of Carve library sources into extern/
Added script for re-bundling it (currently works only if repo
was cloned by git-svn).
- Added BOP_CarveInterface for boolop library which can be used by
Boolean modifier.
- Carve backend is enabled by default, can be disabled by WITH_BF_CARVE
SCons option and WITH_CARVE CMake option.
- If Boost library is found in build environment it'll be used for
unordered collections. If Boost isn't found, it'll fallback to TR1
implementation for GCC compilers. Boost is obligatory if MSVC is used.
Tested on Linux 64bit and Windows 7 64bit.
NOTE: behavior of flat objects was changed. E.g. Plane-Sphere now gives
plane with circle hole, not plane with semisphere. Don't think
it's really issue because it's not actually defined behavior in
such situations and both of ways might be useful. Since it's
only known "regression" think it's OK to deal with it.

Special thanks to:

- Campbell Barton: help in project development, review tests.
- Tobias Sargeant: author of Carve library, help in resolving some
merge stoppers, bug fixing.
Keir's comment:
Add support for detecting tracking failure in the ESM tracker component of
libmv. Since both KLT and Hybrid rely on ESM underneath, KLT and Hybrid now
have a minimum correlation setting to match. With this fix, track failures
should get detected quicker, with the issue that sometimes the tracker will
give up too easily. That is fixable by reducing the required correlation (in
the track properties).

Comment from Keir's commit:
Add a new hybrid region tracker for motion tracking to libmv, and
add it as an option (under "Hybrid") in the tracking settings. The
region tracker is a combination of brute force tracking for coarse
alignment, then refinement with the ESM/KLT algorithm already in
libmv that gives excellent subpixel precision (typically 1/50'th
of a pixel)
This also adds a new "brute force" region tracker which does a
brute force search through every pixel position in the destination
for the pattern in the first frame. It leverages SSE if available,
similar to the SAD tracker, to do this quickly. Currently it does
some unnecessary conversions to/from floating point that will get
fixed later.
The hybrid tracker glues the two trackers (brute & ESM) together
to get an overall better tracker. The algorithm is simple:
1. Track from frame 1 to frame 2 with the brute force tracker.
This tries every possible pixel position for the pattern from
frame 1 in frame 2. The position with the smallest
sum-of-absolute-differences is chosen. By definition, this
position is only accurate up to 1 pixel or so.
2. Using the result from 1, initialize a track with ESM. This does
a least-squares fit with subpixel precision.
3. If the ESM shift was more than 2 pixels, report failure.
4. If the ESM track shifted less than 2 pixels, then the track is
good and we're done. The rationale here is that if the
refinement stage shifts more than 1 pixel, then the brute force
result likely found some random position that's not a good fit.
svn command used: svn merge -r 42375:42376 -r 42377:42379 ^/branches/soc-2011-tomato
It was error in CMakeLists.txt caused by automatic bundling script which
expanded variables instead of substituting them as-is.
Fixed both of bundling script and CMakeLists.txt
In some cases solving can take a while (especially when refining is used)
and keeping interface locked is a bit annoying. Now camera solver is moved
to job system and interface isn't locking.
Reporting progress isn't really accurate, but trying to make it more linear
can lead to spending more effort on it than having benefit. Also, changing
status in the information line helps to understand that blender isn't hang
up and solving is till working nicely.
Main changes in code:
- libmv_solveReconstruction now accepts additional parameters:
* progress_update_callback - a function which is getting called
from solver algorithm to report progress back to Blender.
* callback_customdata - a user-defined context which is passing
to progress_update_callback so progress can be updated in needed
blender-side data structures.
This parameters are optional.
- Added structure MovieTrackingStats which is placed in MovieTracking
structure. It's supposed to be used for displaying information about
different operations (currently it's only camera solver, but can be
easily used for something else in the future) in clip editor.
This statistics structure is getting allocated for time operator is
working and not saving into .blend file.
- Clip Editor now displays statistics stored in MovieTrackingStats structure
like it's done for rendering.
