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"
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")."
