9e01abf777 Cycles: require Experimental to be set to enable CUDA on cards with shader model 
lower than 1.3, since we're not officially supporting these. We're already not
providing CUDA binaries for these, so better make it clear when compiling from
source too.

086e4ed825 Cycles: improve error reporting for opencl and cuda, showing error messages in 
viewport instead of only console.

5fd67a3ba5 Cycles: enable multi closure sampling and transparent shadows only on CPU and 
CUDA cards with shader model >= 2 for now (GTX 4xx, 5xx, ..). The CUDA compiler
can't handle the increased kernel size currently.

60bc63c7b8 Cycles: enable improved closure sampling, this should give less noise for mix, add 
and glass shaders. How well this will work on non-fermi GPU's is unclear still, it's
a bit heavy on register usage.

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.

3c7dcd7a47 Cycles: compile opencl kernels in non-blocking thread, and don't crash on 
build failure but show error message in status text.

bae896691a Cycles: 
* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
  internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
  alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
  the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.

* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
  because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.

48b4de3152 Cycles: 
* auto/fixed threads option is used now, patch by Thomas.
* remove unused CUDA_LIBRARIES, library is dynamically loaded
* fix mesh XML export operator for API update

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:
