Don't know when this sneaked in, I did wrote that part of the patch on win VM with MSVC2013... :/
Note: letting asside warnings for now, then should not prevent building anyway.

Patch by @Severin (with minor modifications by me). As discussed in
{D535} the node editor does not have real modal operator tools like the
3D view or image editors for instance, so it makes sense to utilise it
this way. Tabs really help in this area due to the large amount of node
types and categories. Further tweaks could be made later if the need
arises.
Current temporary data of Blender suffers one major issue - default 'temp' dir on Windows is never
automatically cleaned up, and can end being quite big when used by Blender, especially when we have
to store per-process data (using getpid() in file names).
To address this, this patch:
* Divides tempdir paths in two, one for 'base' temp dir (the same as previous unique tempdir path),
the other is a mkdtemp-generated sub-dir, specific to each Blender instance.
* Only uses base tempdir when we need some shallow persistance accross Blender sessions - and we always
reuse the same filename (quit.blend...) or generate small file (crash reports...).
* Uses temp sub-dir for heavy files like pointcache or renderEXRs (Save Buffer option).
* Erases temp sub-dir on quit or crash.
To get this working it also adds a working 'recursive delete' to BLI_delete() under Windows.
Note that, as in current code, the 'recover render result' hack-feature that was possible
with SaveBuffer option is still removed. A real renderresult cache feature will be added
soon, though.

This way we only catch exceptions which we're intended to
and if something bad happens (like missing import due to
refactor or so) we'll see them instantly.
* Fixed different not-in-sync #ifdef blocks for struct stat variants under Windows.
Comments have been left to indicate the portions of BLI_fileops.h and
BLI_fileops_types.h that need to stay in sync.
* Added BLI_wstat() to de-duplicate #ifdef blocks for stat() variants on Windows.
* Fix for opendir() and associate functions in MinGW not working properly with
non-ASCII, MBCS-compatible paths.
MinGW (FREE_WINDOWS) has opendir() and _wopendir(), and only the
latter accepts a path name of wchar_t type. Rather than messing up with
extra #ifdef's here and there, Blender's own implementations of opendir()
and related functions are used to properly support paths with non-ASCII,
MBCS-compatible characters.
Tested with MSVC 2013 Express, MinGW32 (gcc 4.6.2) and MinGW-w64 (gcc 4.7.1).

It turns out that the new Beckmann sampling function doesn't work well with
Quasi Monte Carlo sampling, mainly near normal incidence where it can be worse
than the previous sampler. In the new sampler the random number pattern gets
split in two, warped and overlapped, which hurts the stratification, see the
visualization in the differential revision.
Now we use a precomputed table, which is much better behaved. GGX does not seem
to benefit from using a precomputed table.
Disadvantage is that this table adds 1MB of memory usage and 0.03s startup time
to every render (on my quad core CPU).

Returning to object mode reactivates any generative modifiers
and this can lead to a polycount explosion.
For now just improve the warning when entering dyntopo with generative
modifiers. I would like to add the ability spawn options to apply or
remove the modifiers too, however separate undo stack system comes back
with a vengeance here, since it won't allow restoring the application/
also may invalidate all sculpt undo in the undo stack prior to the
application (needs investigation).
Currently resolution divider is not exposed to the
interface yet, and i'm not even sure it needs to be
exposed because it's somewhat weird configuration.
Need to check how often artists are changing start
resolution in Cycles.
Pretty much straightforward implementation with the
only weak part: render result is getting re-allocated
and upscaled when current resolution is finished.
Not sure how to make it faster actually. Maybe it's
just a matter of making upscale fast enough.
Needed to fix some possible memory leak happening
in Freestyle when canceling rendering on a special
stage -- it was missing temp bmain free,

Needed to make the blender link libraries a global property
now that tests are parallel to source directory.
Current sort order for blender link libraries doesn't work
for tests that start with few defined symbols. Doubling the
lib list works, but a TODO to find a better way (probably
using CMake's own mechanism for tracking dependencies).
** TO BE PORTED BACK TO 2.71 **
As pointed out by Thomas Beck (plasmasolutions), the current behaviour and/or
default values for their parameters didn't quite make sense:
1) Back Easing - The old default value of 0.0 results in some overshoot being applied,
while trying to tweak it up or down resulted in some odd jumps and discontinities.
I've ended up removing some code here which forcibly using a "back" value of 1.7
when users wanted 0.0 instead. There doesn't seem to be any good reason for this.
To ensure that there is still an effect initially, keyframes now get created
with back set to 1.7
2) Elastic Easing - The old default settings of <amplitude = 0, period = 0> resulted
in a curve without any elastic bounce, which wasn't very useful for motion graphics.
Now, default values of amplitude = 0.8 and period = 4.1 get set. These were hand picked
by Thomas to work well when the duration of the motion is 10 frames long (i.e. the
typical length of such effects when doing motion graphics).
