Changed the default linkage to DLL.  You now have to define NIFLIB_STATIC_LINK if you want to use static linking instead of having to define USE_NIFLIB_DLL if you want to use the DLL.
Added a new Debug - DLL configuration.
Static configurations now create either niflib_static.lib or niflib_static_debug.lib, while DLL configurations create niflib_dll.lib and niflib_dll_debug.lib along with niflib.dll and niflib_debug.dll.

* removed /FI"pch.h" option from niflib.vcproj

Removing old Python-related files.

Project file now properly uses "Multithreaded DLL" runtime library for "Release - DLL" configuration.

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.

Realized that Niflib was not compiling in DLL mode, so started working on fixing that.  All NiObject classes need to have NIFLIB_API and NIFLIB_HIDDEN put on each public function, rather than marking the whole class.  Still a lot left to change, but niflib.cpp and ComplexShape.cpp both compile without errors in DLL mode now.

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

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

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.

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.

Really put the skin calculations back the way they were this time.  Helps, but the hands of better bodies meshes still end up in the wrong place.
Added transform parameter to ComplexShape::Split because changing the transforms after the fact ruins the skin binds.

Added missing NvTriStripper files back into solution.

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

2. Add some extra helpers around sequence and animation.

Created a new ComplexShape class which can currently be used to automatically split the sort of complicated mesh that contains per-point-per-face attributes into NiTriShape classes.  Should support skinning as well, but has not been tested.
Added TexCoord == operator.
Changed type of Triangle members to unsigned short.
Color4 now defaults to all zeros.
NiAVObject::AddProperty now takes a const argument.
Fixed exception in NiTexturingProperty to throw a runtime_error instead of a string.
NiTriBasedGeom::BindSkin should now automatically finds the skeleton root by itself.  The skeleton_root argument has been removed.

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

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

Moved version constants to a separate file to clear up problems with no longer including NIF_IO.h in niflib.h.

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

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

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

Enabled precompiled headers in MS Visual C++ project.  Also tried some tweaked optimization settings to make it compile faster.

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.

Added new files to VS project.

Hopefully fixed the Read/asString bugs.  Niflyze can now read and output strings for all Morrowind files.
