Initial changes for skin partition access.  Needs more work around protecting the user from inconsistencies.

2. Put back changes that Shon rolled back to so that exporter compiles again
3. Put in new typesafe helper for creating nodes so we dont have to rely on strings.

1. Update Niflib based on recent xml changes and cleanup some of the entries added for the 3ds max Exporter.
2. Merged in changes required by 3ds Max Exporter as I try to remove the cloned copy of niflib completely from svn.

2.  Change mergeniftrees to default phase to 0.0f instead of 1.0f as its a better default value.

Determined that there are references to NiBSplineData and NiBSplineBasisData in all NiBSplineInterpolator derived classes.  Consolidated the various references from the derived classes to the NiBSplineInterpolator class in the XML and in Niflib.

We can't have functions on compounds as all files for them are generated.  Removed CalcNumTriangles so Niflib programs will link.

Split some things that were previously part of NIF_IO.h into their own files to make SWIG wrapping work better.

Fix Math so that it decomposes rotations back to stored rotation and not the inverse.  Fix Scale so that it returns the correct value rather than x+y + (z/3).
Add helper methods for useful flags for importing data in avobject and controller sequence.

Changed near and far to nearExtent and farExtent in LODRange to prevent conflicts with defines in Windows standard library.

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.

Implemented a missing Matrix44 function.
Updated ByteArray files to current generated versions.

Some other DAoC related fixes to XML.

Fixed problem with NiCollisionData being used instead of NiCollisionObject in 20.0.0.4 files.

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.

Shon's XML update is now also reflected in /gen/obj_defines.h.

Regenerated all the code in the gen/ folder (no more publics in NiLight, optimized "Ref.h" include).

Made DLL creation optional and added a "Release - DLL" configuration.  The Release configuration creates a static library.

More functions implemented.  NiNode and NiObjectNET are now good examples of how to deal with pointers.
With implementation of NiNode::GetChildren function, I was able to re-enable the building up of the bind position.

Made all include paths relative so you don't have to set any directories to compile.  Hopefully Amorilia will fix this in the code generation script.
Implemented a few more functions.
