number of objects are supported so far, to reduce the size of the
wrapper. Details:

* set property eolstyle:native on .cpp and .h files for better windows + linux 
  support

* added small cpp file for quick nif read and write test (for
  debug purposes)

* fixed memory leak due to array of non-fixed sized objects:
  Header.copyright (caused segfaults under GCC)

* disabled pragma warning on NvTriStripObjects.cpp

* fixed undefined behaviour of map[...] = ... map.size() ... in
  niflib.cpp (caused segfaults under GCC)

* cleaned up SConstruct file
  - if DEBUG is false, TUNE is assumed
  - added TEST option

* workaround in pyniflib.h for ReadNifTree (need to find better solution!)

* swig wrapper interface: NiNode, NiAVObject, and NiObjectNET are
  fully supported (nothing else, for now)

* now using unittest for python test script(s)

* Renamed python.h to pyniflib.h to avoid confusion with the python.h file from python installation.
* Updated python test script.
* Enabled many things again in the swig wrapper interface, to ease debugging.
* Added "using namespace std;" in Ref.h (as in the rest of the library)

Function for writing nif files does not work yet (have not yet figured out why).

WIP: trying to make smart pointers work again with SWIG; for the moment I commented out most of the SWIG interface to reduce wrapper size and compilation time while testing

* only build python wrapper if SWIG is detected
* option to turn of python wrapper build

(python wrapper still WIP)

Added configurations for Maya 8.0 and 8.5 to Maya solution.  May not work.

Committing the changes to the SConstruct SCONS build system file that Xoalin contributed through the forums.  Thanks Xoalin!  I'm told that Niflib now compiles on GCC =)

Properly capitalized include file names in niflib.cpp.

Changed some functions to use pointers instead of Ref templates.
Updated to latest XML description.

  -----   
o Exporter
  - Add BSX flags for NIF exports when animation is involved for Oblivion.
  - Worked around what appears to be a bug in the Bezier Scale controller.
  - Change time intervals when exporting MW style animation.
  - Fixed bug with missing reference in Footer in MW exported .KF files.
  - Call routine to apply skin offsets to Skin data (required for MW?)

o Importer

  - Invoke Max Script in Max 5 so that we can import Note Tracks

  -----   
o Exporter
  - Fix Collapse Transforms on dialog so that it actually triggers collapse
  - Change defaults for textures so Morrowind does not crash in CS
  - Fix export of animation for Morrowind
  - Introduce mechanism in Collapse Transforms so that poorly scaled models export better

o Importer
  - Fix import of animation for Morrowind
