==================================
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.

disk to be reused by the next render.
This is useful for rendering animations where only the camera or materials change.
Note that saving the BVH to disk only to be removed for the next frame is slower
if this is not the case and the meshes do actually change.
For a render, it will save bvh files to the cache user directory, and remove all
cache files from other renders. The files are named using a MD5 hash based on the
mesh, to verify if the meshes are still the same.

Notes:
======
* we replaced fullscreen by playerflag in DNA_scene.types.h. So no doversion here, I think this is a small reversion can't see any potential problem in forcuing users to re-check fullscreen. If the file is really old (<250) it will doversion though;
* (for after commit) it would be nice to gray out the width/height when desktop=True
* for a rainy day: it would be nice to have other ghost modes (e.g. screensaver) to support desktop + MSAA as well. It's not a huge deal given that I don't even know if anything else work (apart from windowed, fullscreen and embed) but it doesn't hurt to have it updated as well.
* there is something strange with outliner. I think space_outliner merge-info is not in sync with the ^/ folder. It's probably a wrong merge early in cucumber.
Commit Logs:
===========
# 40845 by dfelinto
remove desktop and fullscreen properties. They are both part of playerflag now
also I removed the fullscreen from the DNA completely. I don't think we need doversion that..
#39045 by kupoman
The Desktop option is now greyed out when fullscreen is not checked rather than disappearing from the UI completely.
#38973 by kupoman
Adding a checkbox to the UI to allow the full screen Blender Player to use the current desktop resolution instead of the resolution setting.
#38970 by kupoman
Multisampling now works in a fullscreen Blender Player.
#38968 by moguri
Committing a patch from Mitchell Stokes (Moguri) to include a setting in the UI for the Blenderplayer multisampling.
The rendering device is now set in User Preferences > System, where you can
choose between OpenCL/CUDA and devices. Per scene you can then still choose
to use CPU or GPU rendering.
Load balancing still needs to be improved, now it just splits the entire
render in two, that will be done in a separate commit.
* Adding hue instead of removing it.
fmod doesn't work as % when it comes to negative numbers:
fmod( 1.3, 1) == 1.3 % 1 == 0.3
fmod(-0.3, 1) != -0.3 % 1
displaying the window.
This fixes a brief flash of random data on Blender startup on my
system (Ubuntu 11.10, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650, Gallium drivers.)

* Added some new integrator parameters to the xml reading.
* Added ability to specify window width/height, if not set it uses film/camera width/height.
* Added back the xml exporter script from cycles branch, with modifications to hock up into the UI. To use it, copy the script into 2.61/scripts/startup.
Note: This is intended for developers for now, but the standalone Cycles app has potential to be used as benchmark for example.
