There is not much sense to have a whole BLI file just to check SSE2 on CPUs...
So idea is to rename it to more generic "BLI_system", and add to it more system-related
utils, like e.g. an include helper for getpid(), which allows to hide unix/windows
internals from rest of the code...

Fixes T39423: Blender crashes on iv41 encoded videos in thumbnail display mode
Libraries are still being committed to the svn, so compilation might be broken
for a while. Sorry for this, but can't really be avoided.
Also, some typos in scons are possible.
in threaded depgraph updates and effector list construction.
Gathering effectors during depgraph updates will call the
psys_check_enabled function. This in turn contained a DNA alloc call
for the psys->frand RNG arrays, which is really bad because data must be
immutable during these effector constructions.
To avoid such allocs the frand array is now global for all particle
systems. To avoid correlation of pseudo-random numbers the psys->seed
value is complemented with random offset and multiplier for the actual
float array. This is not ideal, but work sufficiently well (given that
random numbers were already really limited and show repetition quite
easily for particle counts > PSYS_FRAND_COUNT).
The documentation for the -b/--background option incorrectly states that it
takes a <file>, however it can run also without a file with e.g. a script.

Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.

The problem is that the animation curves are first before object updates,
where BKE_pose_rebuild and proxy synchronize will undo the animation when the
proxy is evaluted for the first time after loading.
This is somewhat of a workaround but it's also useful to have the scene updated
once when opening in background mode, and it makes rendering from the UI and
background more similar and so more predictable to give the same result.
Summary:
Old idea with changes since previous release tag
didn't work good enough. In most of the cases tag
was done in a branch hence not actually reachable
from the master branch.
Now change since release is gone, and date of
the latest commit is used instead.
The date is displayed in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
in the splash.
New bpy.app fields:
- build_commit_timestamp is an unix timestamp of
the commit blender was build from.
- build_commit_date is a date of that commit.
- build_commit_time is a time of that commit.

Made it so if there's release/datafiles/locale/po
folder, then all the .po files will be converted
to .mo at blender compile time and installed to
an appropriate location.
Uses small own implementation msgfmt which is
based on msgfmt.py from Python project, but also
supports contexts.
There's no functional changes for until we've
switched to use source .po files instead of
pre-compiled .mo.
P.S. Well, there's one change which is msgfmt.cc
being compiled even if it's not used, but
would rather not clutter code with checks
since pretty soon we'll use this program
anyway.
- Use commit number since last annotated tag as a
revision number replacement. It'll eb followed
by 'M' symbol if there're local modification in
the source tree.
- Commit short SHA1 is included. Helps getting
information about commit used to build blender
with much faster.
- If build is not done from master branch, this also
will be noticed in the splash screen.
This commit also replaces revision stored in the
files with git-specific fields (change and hash).
This is kind of breaks compatibility, meaning
files which were saved before this change wouldn't
display any information about which revision they
were saved with. When we'll finally switch to git,
we'll see proper hash and change number since
previous release in the files, for until then
svn version will be used as a change number and
hash will be empty.
Not a huge deal, since this field was only used
by developers to help torubleshooting things and
isn't needed for blender itself.
Some additional tweaks are probably needed :)
Release builds will now use lock-free allocator by
default without any internal locks happening.
MemHead is also reduces to as minimum as it's possible.
It still need to be size_t stored in a MemHead in order
to make us keep track on memory we're requesting from
the system, not memory which system is allocating. This
is probably also faster than using a malloc's usable
size function.
Lock-free guarded allocator will say you whether all
the blocks were freed, but wouldn't give you a list
of unfreed blocks list. To have such a list use a
--debug or --debug-memory command line arguments.
Debug builds does have the same behavior as release
builds. This is so tools like valgrind are not
screwed up by guarded allocator as they're currently
are.

We now support the combined layer of Photoshop files (stored as layer 0
in the file). This way users can keep their files as multilayer PSD and
Blender always handle them as flat images.
For perfect alpha this requires an OpenImageIO update:
342cc2633f
Photoshop sample files:
https://github.com/OpenImageIO/oiio-images
Brecht has some pending fixes to push for OIIO as well, so we may as
well wait to update our libraries.
What works:
===========
* 8bit images (with or without alpha)
* 16bits images (alpha discarded)
* Photoshop files saved with 'Maximum Compatibility'
* Cycles, Blender internal, BGE (and player)
Known limitations
(due to OIIO dependency):
=========================
* Images with less than 4 channels show a wrong thumbnail (bug may be in OIIO)
* Packed images are not supported
* We do not write PSD files.
Note: old Blenders have support for PSD via Quicktime library. But due
to license issues this was discontinued.
Many thanks for Brecht van Lommel for reviewing the patch, suggesting
multiple improvements and to help solving the alpha issue.
Move static variables to context filling in by this fcuntion
and owned by a callee function. This ensures no conflicts
between threads happens because of static variables used in
this function.
Also moved modifier types and virtual modifiers data to a
function called from creator. This is needed to be sure all
the information is properly initialied to the time when
threads starts to use this data.

with other applications launching SDL applications from Blender.
At the time this was added the game engine joystick code was unnecessarily
initializing the SDL video subsystem, and looking at the SDL source code that's
the only place this environment variable is read. That doesn't happen anymore,
though we do have WITH_GHOST_SDL now. But the environment variable is set after
GHOST has been initialized, otherwise this code would have actually broken that.
