multi-threaded paging, where the Pager manages threads of reading local
and http files via seperate threads. This makes it possible to smoothly
browse large databases where parts of the data are locally cached while
others are on a remote server. Previously with this type of dataset
the pager would stall all paging while http requests were being served,
even when parts of the models are still loadable virtue of being in the
local cache.
Also as part of the refactoring the DatabaseRequest are now stored in the
ProxyNode/PagedLOD nodes to facilitate quite updating in the cull traversal,
with the new code avoiding mutex locks and searches. Previous on big
databases the overhead involved in make database requests could accumulate
to a point where it'd cause the cull traversal to break frame. The overhead
now is negligable.
Finally OSG_FILE_CACHE support has been moved from the curl plugin into
the DatabasePager. Eventually this functionality will be moved out into
osgDB for more general usage.
From Robert Osfield, refactored the FrameBufferObejcts::_drawBuffers set up so that its done
within the setAttachment method to avoid potential threading/execution order issues.
- Implementation of integer textures as in EXT_texture_integer
- setBorderColor(Vec4) changed to setBorderColor(Vec4d) to pass double values
as border color. (Probably we have to provide an overloading function to
still support Vec4f ?)
- new method Texture::getInternalFormatType() added. Gives information if the
internal format normalized, float, signed integer or unsigned integer. Can
help people to write better code ;-)

Futher changes to this submission by Robert Osfield, changed the dirty mipmap
flag into a buffer_value<> vector to ensure safe handling of multiple contexts.
local function pointer to avoid compiler warnings related to case void*.
Moved various OSG classes across to using setGLExtensions instead of getGLExtensions,
and changed them to use typedef declarations in the headers rather than casts in
the .cpp.
