The idea is to make include statements more explicit and obvious where the
file is coming from, additionally reducing chance of wrong header being
picked up.
For example, it was not obvious whether bvh.h was refferring to builder
or traversal, whenter node.h is a generic graph node or a shader node
and cases like that.
Surely this might look obvious for the active developers, but after some
time of not touching the code it becomes less obvious where file is coming
from.
This was briefly mentioned in T50824 and seems @brecht is fine with such
explicitness, but need to agree with all active developers before committing
this.
Please note that this patch is lacking changes related on GPU/OpenCL
support. This will be solved if/when we all agree this is a good idea to move
forward.

This is sort of extension of existing Use Environment option which now allows to
disable AO on the render layer basis.
Useful in cases like disabling AO for the background because it might make it
too flat and so.

* If a Background node is set to a black color or zero strength,
it now gets removed from the shader graph.
* In case the graph is empty (no background node), the kernel will skip
evaluating it and save some rendertime. This can help quite a bit in scenes,
where the majority of the image consists of a black background.
Example: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=82650
In this case the render is ~16% faster.

This was already mixed a bit, but the dot belongs there.

This adds a new "Volume Scatter" option to the "Ray Visibility" panels and can be used to e.g. exclude lamps from having an influence on the volume. See release logs for an example: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.72/Cycles

* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.
* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.

modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:

* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
