This is a revision of the old NeoGeo raytracer, dusted off, improved quite
a lot, and nicely integrated in the rest of rendering pipeline.
Enable it with F10-"Ray", and set either a 'ray-shadow' lamp or give the
Material a "RayMirror" value.
It has been added for 2 reasons:
- get feedback on validity... I need artists to play around with it if it's
actually useful. It still *is* raytracing, meaning complex scenes will
easily become slow.
- for educational purposes. All raytracing happens in ray.c, which can be
quite easily adjusted for other effects.
When too many disasters pop up with this, I'll make it a compile #ifdef.
But so far, it seems to do a decent job.

An article (tech) about how it works, and about the new octree invention
will be posted soon. :)
Note: it doesn't work with unified render yet.
do a make clean in source/blender/ to be sure!
- Included the new shaders from Cessen... well, only the shader calls
themselves. To make sure the shaders work I nicely integrated it
- MaterialButtons: layout changed a bit, but still resembles the old
layout. The 'shader' options now are located together.
- Shaders are separated in 'diffuse' and 'specular'. You can combine them
freely.
- diffuse Lambert: old shader
diffuse Oren Nayar: new shader, gives sandy/silky/skinny material well
diffuse Toon: for cartoon render
- specular Phong: new spec, traditional 70ies spec
specular CookTorr: a reduced version of cook torrance shading, does
off specular peak well
specular Blinn: new spec, same features as CookTorr, but with extra
'refraction' setting
specular Toon: new spec for cartoon render
- default blender starts with settings that render compatible!
- works in shaded view and preview-render
- works in unified render
Further little changes:
- removed paranoia compile warnings from render/loader/blenlib
- and the warnings at files I worked at were removed.
#include <QuickTime/Movies.h> instead of #include <Movies.h> on OS X to
avoid having to specify the full path to the QT headers in the Makefiles
#undef NDEBUG on OS X to avoid errors about ID being declared twice
enable support for QuickTime in the original Makefiles on OS X
