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

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.

* removed NIFLIB_API from TYPE in bhkEntity.h

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

Moved TypeConst function implementation out of header file. Hopefully should fix GCC visibility issue.
Fixed GetIDString virtual function missmatch that was causing the name not to show up when the function was called from a NiObjectRef.
Added Python-specific operator functions to Ref to prevent the wrapper from crashing on Null Refs.

* fixed detection of visibility=hidden support (gcc, linux)
* compilation will give error message if visibility=hidden is not detected

Made Header and Footer functions NIFLIB_HIDDEN.
Fixed comment on NIF version 3.1
A manual change by Amorilia to the generated Header.cpp and Footer.cpp files was overwritten.  This needs to be fixed in the Python script.

* bug fix in Header block (array<3,LineString> crashes gcc when destructed)

To allow for DLL mode, the IDENTITY constants in the Matrix classes were made private and are now accessible through the Identity() function of each matrix class.  This may affect the 3ds Max plug-in as well.

Fixed Niflib DLL compile.  All public functions should now be marked with either NIFLIB_API or NIFLIB_HIDDEN.  May have missed a few here or there but they should be noticed eventually.

Realized that Niflib was not compiling in DLL mode, so started working on fixing that.  All NiObject classes need to have NIFLIB_API and NIFLIB_HIDDEN put on each public function, rather than marking the whole class.  Still a lot left to change, but niflib.cpp and ComplexShape.cpp both compile without errors in DLL mode now.
