started adding support for BSDismemberSkinInstance.h in the complex shape. so far nothing is functional but at first glance it seems pretty straightforward enough

niflib:  Update to latest xml.  Add helper properties.  Allow skinning routines to use BSDismemberSkinInstance instead of NiSkinInstance.

Update UpdateTangentSpace to match nifskope and add my algorithm adapted from the Obsidian developers version.

Add miscellaneous collision support helper methods

Since there seemed to be no way to make pre-main initialization work for statically linking the library, I went back to using a CPP file that includes all the NiObject files and registers each one with the ObjectRegistry.

Moved Object Registration/Creation functionality into new ObjectRegistry class.  Hopefully this fixes the issue with the object map not being initialized yet since it is a static member of the class and should theoretically be initialized before code in functions of that class can be executed.  Seems to work for me, but I'll wait until Tazpn tests it to declare it fixed.

- There are no longer any defines, things like inheritance class name, NIF attribute variables, and default constructor code are all visible without looking at another file.
- All non-custom parts of the Object files are now totally identical and in the same order, so it will be easier to compare them.
- NiObjects are now completely self-contained.  To remove them from Niflib, you have only to exclude their CPP file from the build.  To add new ones, you only have to include their new CPP file.
- Making a change to a NiObject implementation file only causes that one file to be re-compiled, which is generally much quicker than before since the large obj_define and obj_impl files do not have to be parsed or compiled.
- There are no longer any "Internal" versions of the Read, Write, asString, FixLinks, or GetRefs functions.  Now there is just one function for each of these with pre and post custom code areas (except for GetRefs which I didn't think needed it.)
- Updates to the hierarchy in the XML should now be almost completely automatic.  All that should be necessary to make an update is to add any new NiObject CPP files to the build.
- Changes to the generated parts of the NiObject files can now be made at any time, and immediately applied to all NiObjects without editing each existing one.

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.

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

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.

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.

Corrected Shape/particle hierarchy by adding NiGeometry and NiGeometryData.  This is the correct hierarchy and having particles come back as derived from NiTriBasedGeomData was causing problems.
Commented out printf commands in triangle stripper.

Fixed ComplexShape::Merge and ComplexShape::Split to properly take new uvSet member of TexDesc into account.
Updated Niflib for Python readme to reflect the continuing "new_niflib" name.
Reverted NiTriBasedGeom::GetSkinInfluencedVertices function to old functionality which works as long as the NIF is valid.  Some valid NIF files were not loading with the new changes.
Updated version in Doxyfile to 0.5.8

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.

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

Removed unused vars from UpdateTangentSpace().

"Fixed" NiTriBasedGeom::GetSkinInfluencedVertices function so it fails to import meshes with bad overall offset transforms.

Added an exception and some extra checks to NiTriBasedGeomData::UpdateTangentSpace.  Also made minor style changes.
Fixed warning created by changing NiStencilProperty's enabled value to a byte.

1. Update NiStencilProperty based on Shon's changes
2. Rewrote large chunks of WriteFileGroup related routines.
3. Added a WriteNifTree which allows for multiple roots (not exposed publically)
4. Added option to BindSkin to scene instead of skeleton root.
5. Fixed bug in RemoveController
6. Added helpers to NiControllerManager for sequence management
7. Propegated user_version in routines which take a version

2. Fix PCH project settings.
3. Add NifSkope base partitioning algorithm
4. Add ability to use TriStripper instead of NvStripper for tristripdata
5. Sync with XML and equivalent changes.

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