forcing users to use osgDB::readRef*File() methods. The later is preferable as it closes a potential threading bug when using paging databases in conjunction
with the osgDB::Registry Object Cache. This threading bug occurs when one thread gets an object from the Cache via an osgDB::read*File() call where only
a pointer to the object is passed back, so taking a reference to the object is delayed till it gets reassigned to a ref_ptr<>, but at the same time another
thread calls a flush of the Object Cache deleting this object as it's referenceCount is now zero. Using osgDB::readREf*File() makes sure the a ref_ptr<> is
passed back and the referenceCount never goes to zero.
To ensure the OSG builds when OSG_PROVIDE_READFILE is to OFF the many cases of osgDB::read*File() usage had to be replaced with a ref_ptr<> osgDB::readRef*File()
usage. The avoid this change causing lots of other client code to be rewritten to handle the use of ref_ptr<> in place of C pointer I introduced a serious of
templte methods in various class to adapt ref_ptr<> to the underly C pointer to be passed to old OSG API's, example of this is found in include/osg/Group:
bool addChild(Node* child); // old method which can only be used with a Node*
tempalte<class T> bool addChild(const osg::ref_ptr<T>& child) { return addChild(child.get()); } // adapter template method
These changes together cover 149 modified files, so it's a large submission. This extent of changes are warrent to make use of the Object Cache
and multi-threaded loaded more robust.

I've also checked the modified files still build ok with other
compilers (Linux gcc, Windows Visual Studio).
osgDB/OutputStream.cpp and osgPlugins/lws/SceneLoader.cpp require
stdlib.h for atoi use.
In osg/Uniform.cpp the compiler complains that base_class is unknown
unless I add a class name qualifier.
Not a build fix, but I spotted a typo in osgUtil/SceneView."
I just added a field version_ to read it at the beginning and added extra code to check it and read the extra field if needed and read the good filename"
completed the new registration of the plugin-readerwriters
("REGISTER_OSGPLUGIN") according to your osgstaticviewer-example (see
attachment, based on today's svn)."
The existing code uses a map with object ID's. The original code only applied the name to a node for a new ID only if the node did not already exist in the map. The problem was that there was another part of the code (when a parent was forward declared) that also created the node with the ID in the map, but it did not know its name. I simply made sure that the name was set regardless of whether or not the node was already in the map. "
With this fix, each PositionAttitudeTransform node that corresponds to an entry in the LWS file carries the name of the loaded object plus the layer number (for example, "objects/myobj.lwo.2")."
