Finished new MatTexCollection helper class which makes it possible to manipulate material properties and texture objects with the same classes regardless of the intended NIF version.
Realized that only read was implemented for files with version < 3.3.0.13, so implemented write for those old versions as well.

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.

* NIF_BIG/LITTLE_ENDIAN -> ENDIAN_BIG/LITTLE

* gcc BIG_ENDIAN and LITTLE_ENDIAN name clash fix

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.

Properly capitalized include file names in niflib.cpp.

Replaced _WRITE, _READ, _STRING, AND _FIXLINKS defines with the corresponding internal function call.
Replaced STANDARD_INTERNAL_FUNCTIONS with the internal function signatures.
Made my Doxygen config file use relative paths and added it to SVN so everyone can generate the same documentation for themselves.
Removed includes WZ added to ComplexShape.  These were not missing, they are up to the user to include if they wish.

Several fixes to XML and Niflib to enable all my files from Freedom Force (except with NiClodData), Oblivion, CivIV, Morrowind, Zoo Tycoon 2, and DAoC to load in Niflib and NifSkope.
Includes the two strange Oblivion files with version 3.3.0.13 and version 10.0.1.2.

Added support for sub version 4 headers, object storage, and link method.  Some objects like NiNodes already read correctly.

Fixed the relative include paths and tried to update solution, but havn't got the precompiled header working right.

Made ShortString an intrinsic type to fix problems with writing them.
Removed extra byte in HeaderString NifStream function.

Commented out functions written by Amorilia that I need to figure out how to fix.

Major update to python generation scripts and others.  Currently just namepace and mutable size members with appropriate generated code.

Some other DAoC related fixes to XML.

Removed some cout statements I had left behind.
Fixed problem with NiSkinInstance attaching itself to the skeleton root on load.
Increased debug limit on strings to 4000 to allow a particular Oblivion file to load.

Implemented Color3 object.
Adjusted project settings to make the Maya importer link faster.

Header and footer code now in the structs. Also small update and fix to NIF_IO HeaderString read/write.

Made niflib more verbose: prints blocks as it reads the NIF file (helps identifying buggy blocks); fixed output of bytes.

Fixed something I broke on last commit + another update to XML in ByteArray: niflyze now reads Oblivion files :-)

Updated license text in remaining files.  Short text in all files except niflib.h, and year updated to 2006.

Moved things around and updated xml_extract.h so that everything compiles again.  Other than NIF_Blocks.h/cpp which will be removed in the future, of course.

Begun work on the new type of Attributes which store pointers to their data rather than the data itself.  Moved some code to new files to fix problems with cross-includes.
Need to decide what to do about TexSource, a struct in the external interface that should have a link in it.

Did some research in the C++ FAQ and found out how to have vectors of objects that have no default constructor:  http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ctors.html#faq-10.5  Therefore, LinkGroup and CrossRefGroup were removed and the NifStream functions and << operators were shifted from blk_ref and IBlock to Link and CrossRef directly.  The Python will now just have to worry about inserting the owner into the constructor of all links.

Created NifStream and << operators for blk_ref and IBlock *.  Special code will need to be generated by the Python to handle reading of links.
