Updated user's guide.

Added functions to NiImage and NiTextureProperty to allow texture name to be manipulated in <= 3.1 files.
Updated ComplexShape to take the above objects into account when deciding whether to include UV coordinates.

Added 10.0.1.2 to the list of "supported" versions.

Fixed several bugs that were preventing support for old 3.1 and below files from working.  Many of these can now be loaded.
Added version 3.1 to list of "supported" versions.

Updated Niflib to the latest XML which adds support for bhkMeshShape, NiMultiTextureProperty, NiRawImageData, and NiSequence.

Objects now have a Create methods and register themselves in the global object map with pre-main initialization, making obj_factories.cpp obsolete.

Re-exposed TYPE constants and marked them NIFLIB_API, making the TypeConst function obsolete.  You now must use NiObject::TYPE instead of NiObject::TypeConst() again.

Re-exposed IDENTITY constants and marked then NIFLIB_API.  Now you must use MatrixXX::IDENTITY instead of MatrixXX::Identity() again.

Changed the default linkage to DLL.  You now have to define NIFLIB_STATIC_LINK if you want to use static linking instead of having to define USE_NIFLIB_DLL if you want to use the DLL.
Added a new Debug - DLL configuration.
Static configurations now create either niflib_static.lib or niflib_static_debug.lib, while DLL configurations create niflib_dll.lib and niflib_dll_debug.lib along with niflib.dll and niflib_debug.dll.

Added ClearHardareSkinInfo function to NiTriBasedGeom so that SetSkinPartition functions could be made NIFLIB_HIDDEN.

Removed access to unknown data in NiPSysEmitterCtlrData.

Some function and enum name changes in NiAlphaProperty and NiStencilProperty to be more consistent with OpenGL and the rest of Niflib.
Removed access to unknown parameters in NiSourceTexture and merged file name access functions.

More documentation improvements.  Added documentation to NiDynamicEffect-derived objects, removed some obsolete examples, and replaced remaining references to "block" with "object" wherever possible.

Removed redundant Get/SetHidden functions from NiAVObject, use Get/SetVisibility instead.
Renamed Get/SetCollision to Get/SetCollisionMode in NiAVObject.

Moved structures contained within the ComplexShape class outside of it so that they can be wrapped with SWIG.
Finished documentation of ComplexShape.

Moved ListAncestors and FindCommonAncestor helper functions from inside of NiGeometry to public interface.

* NIF_BIG/LITTLE_ENDIAN -> ENDIAN_BIG/LITTLE

* gcc BIG_ENDIAN and LITTLE_ENDIAN name clash fix

* spelling fix in NiAVObject (SetCollsion -> SetCollision) - affects public interface, however I did not find SetCollsion in any of the plugins so nothing should be broken

Finished up preliminary endian support.  Theoretically it should be possible to read a big-endian file on a little-endian system, but it is not possible to do the opposite, or to create a little-endian file due to issues with the header needing to switch endian types int he middle of the generated code and always read the bytes that make up the NIF version in the same order.

Laying the groundwork for Niflib to be able to work on systems with different endian types.  All Read/Write functions now take NifInfo structures which are based by const reference.  These are also passed into the NifStream functions so they will have access to the requested endian type of the NIF as well.  Also added endian detection and swapping functions.

* build will call nifxml_swig.py and nifxml_niflib.py
* removed legacy swig interface generating code from niflib_niflib.py
* removed pyniflib.i_old and obj_common.i since they are no longer used
* set eol-style to native on some files in niflib/src/gen for linux compatibility
* removed svn:externals property on contrib/niflib/pywrap as it is no longer needed

* removed /FI"pch.h" option from niflib.vcproj

* removed NIFLIB_API from TYPE in bhkEntity.h

* NiSkinInstance hiding fix
* looks like everything works; now DEBUG=False in scons to reduce library size

Removing old Python-related files.

Changed NiNode AddChild function to keep NiTriBasedGeom-derived objects at the top of the list.  Fixes issue with Oblivion flattened skin file hierarchies where the NiTriBasedGeom skin was appearing after the NiNode bones that it used in the child list of their mutual parent.
