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.

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.

Preparing for new Python generation method.  Will break compilation for a while.  obj_defines.h and obj_impl.cpp will no longer be necessary once this is complete. 

Updated Niflib to the latest XML.  This significantly improves the hierarchy and adds support for BSWindModifier.

Updated to the latest XML, which adds support for NiBinaryVoxelExtraData, NiBinaryVoxelData, NiPSysCollider, NiBone, NiPSysSphericalCollider, and NiTriShapeSkinController.
Removed erroneous bhkMeshShape object.
Added support in the version parsing functions for versions such as "3.03" which were being parsed as "3.3.0.0" before.  These will now be parsed as "3.0.3.0."
All Bridge Commander demo NIF files other than those that contain voxel 3D textures can now be read.
All DAoC demo NIF files except those of version 2.3 and those that do not appear to store NIF data can now be read.

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.

More documentation improvements.  Added documentation to NiDynamicEffect-derived objects, removed some obsolete examples, and replaced remaining references to "block" with "object" wherever possible.

* 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.

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)

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.

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)

Properly capitalized include file names in niflib.cpp.

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

Fixed strange bug.  All files now load again, and Niflib is now destroying objects properly and reporting the right number of Objects from NiObject::NumObjectsInMemory.

Generated array code now prints 20 items per 2D array in total when verbose is off.
Fixed duplicated Read call.  All FFvt3R demo files can now be read by Niflib.

Updated from XML.  Improves support for FFvt3R, but there are still problems that down show up in NifSkope.

Updated from XML, adding NiClodSkinInstance and fixing NiClodData.  Niflib can now open all Freedom Force NIF files.

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.

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.

Changed WriteNifTree, and WriteFileGroup functions to take NifInfo structures instead of version and user_version arguments.
Changed ReadNifList and ReadNifTree to optionally fill a passed in NifInfo structure with information from the header of the NIF file they read.
Fixed some tabs that were done with spaces instead of actual tab characters.
Updated from XML.

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.
