===========================
Camera sensor size changes:
- Now blender camera has got vertical sensor size property
and setting to control how FOV is getting calculated
(depending on aspect ratio, using horizontal sensor size or
vertical only).
- Made changes in game engine and uv project modifier as well
- Presets should be updated (don't have settings by hand right now
and the internet in debalie is really fails this year)
Set origindices for edges/faces created for rim to ORIGINDEX_NONE.
Also discovered error in recent editmode VBO fix -- it used to crash
when comparing faces with ORIGINDEX_NONE original index.
- Some declarations after statement left.
- Do not use static inline functions in MOD_navmesh. It produces errors
with msvc and not sure it's actually helps -- optimizer should
make it inlined itself.
Summary:
========
The idea here is to move the texface options into the material panel.

1 - Some of the legacy problems 2.49 and 2.5x has with the texface system:
==========================================================================
1.1) Shadow, Bilboard and Halo are mutual exclusive (in the code), yet you can
select a face to be more than one mode.
1.2) Sort only works for blend Alpha yet it's an option regardless of the
Transparency Blend you pick.
1.3) Shared doesn't affect anything in BGE.
1.4) ObColor only works for Text objects (old bitmap texts) when using Texture
Face Materials. (not address yet, I so far ignored obcolor)
2 - Notes:
============
2.1) Now "Use Face Textures" in material Option panel will work in Multitexture
even if there is no texture channel.
2.2) In FaceTexture mode it will use TexFace all the time, even if you don't
check the "Use Texture Face" option in the UI. It's a matter of decision, since
the code for either way is there. I decided by the solution that makes the
creation of a material fast - in this mode the user doesn't need to mess with
textures or this "Use Texture Face" option at all. I'm not strong in my opinion
here. But I think if we don't have this then what is the point of the Texture
Face mode?
2.3) I kept references for tface only when we need the image, UV or the tiling
setting. It should help later when/if we split the Image and UV layers from the
tface struct (Campbell and Brecht proposal).
3 - Changes in a Nutshell:
==========================
3.1) "Texture Face" panel (in the Mesh/Object Data panel) no longer exists. Those settings are all part of the material properties, visible when Game Render is set.
3.2) "Texture Face" Shading mode (in the Render panel) is now called “Single Texture”, it needs a material for special settings (e.g. Billboard, Alpha Sort, …).
3.3) New options in the Material Panel
* Shadeless option in the Material panel is now supported for all three Shading modes.
* Physics is now toggleable, this is the old Collision option.
* Two Side (on) is now called Back Culling (off).
* Alpha Sort is one of the Alpha options, together (and mutually exclusive) to Alpha Blend, Alpha Clip, Add and Opaque (i.e. solid).
* Shadow, Billboard and Halo are grouped in the “Face Orientation” property.
* "Face Textures" and "Face Textures Alpha" (under Options) can be used for all but GLSL shading mode (to be supported in GLSL eventually).
* The backend in the game engine is still the same as before. The only changes are in the interface and in the way you need to think your materials. The bottomline is: It’s no longer possible to share materials between faces that do not share the same game properties.
4 - Acknowledgment:
==================
Mike Pan for the design discussions, and testing along the whole development process.
Vitor Balbio for the first hands-on code with the interface changes. That helped me a lot to push me into work on that.
Benoit Bolsee and Brecht van Lommel for patch review (* no one reviewed the whole patch, or the latest iteractions, so I still hold liability for any problems).
Blender artists that gave feedback and helped testing the patch.
Patch review and original documentation can be found here:

* Added an optional array of MDeformModifier pointers, to avoid another search based on defgrp_idx.
* Split out "add/remove verts from vgroup" functions, preparing their move to deform.c (if their current form is validated!).
Also fixed a bug: when another set mode than "All Vertices" was used and resulting set of verts was empty, all vertices was used, instead of just returning org, unmodified data!
- use 'const float *' and array size in some function declarations.
- replace macros for BLI_math functions INPF, VECCOPY, VECADD etc.
- remove unused VertRen.clip struct member.
- remove static squared_dist() from 2 files, replace with BLI_math function len_squared_v3v3().
- use vertex arrays for drawing clipping background in the 3D viewport.
*Updated UI code (replaced “row columns” by splits ;) ).
*Clamped global influence to [0.0, 1.0] range!
*Added/edited some tooltips for Proximity.
*Proximity distance mapping can now be reversed by entering Lowest Dist > Highest Dist.
*Moved mapping before masking in Proximity, much more sensible this way!
