[#8067] external texture plugin thread-safe modifications
Submitted By: David Anderson (davywavy)
It makes it so the "result" array is passed in, instead of a global var.
I expanded the patch so it will play nice with older plugins that are not
thread safe as well.
I also updated the existing plugins in the release, so they are thread safe.
--------------- What do people think of this.... ------------------
This should maybe be talked about in the functionality board or something,
but what do people think of adding in default texture/sequence plugins.
or making a seperate tree like lib for plugins.
The reason I ask is we have had a couple of upgrades to the plugin system.
(supporting float buffers for sequencer, and this one for textures)
http://www.cs.umn.edu/~mein/blender/plugins does not store revisions of
plugins I just make sure they work with the latest version. This is
getting messy. I haven't upgraded a lot of them to use floats (I know,
I'm lazy, and now this will also make modifications to the plugins)
It would be nice to have some of the standard ones under revision control.
We also seem to be having an explosion of platforms supported. It would
be nice to have platform maintainers compiling plugins as well for releases.
(Its getting to be more work for me to keep up with things...)
I'll go back to my corner now and be quite. ;)

== Plugins ==
Made sequencer plugins work again by boosting the version number and
working around recent changes to the ImBuf-structure for older binary
plugins.
This commit also restores the original length of name in VarStruct.

Added a callback instance_init() so that any particular instance of a
texture plugin can initialize data. Updated the clouds2 and tile example
plugins to have a (dummy) call back.

It adds platform depenant prefix to function calls
(extern on non windows platforms more complicated on windows)
So that windows plugins can reference functions inside of blender.
there is a small TODO still...
Make release should build the helper library required under windows and modify
how they build the plugins:
dlltool --input-def plugin.DEF --output-lib libblenerplugin.a --dllname blender.exe
and the pulgins should be made with:
gcc -c (pluginname).c
gcc -shared -o (pluginname).dll (pluginname).o libblenderplugin.a

intensity, color and/or normal.
Patch provided by Guillermo, thanks!

We should probably add some more there are a lot missing but I'll
save that for after release.

Might be possible I mised an .h or so, just notify me in that case.

So we should be all set now :)

(adding)
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif
also the Makefile.in's were from previous patch adding
the system depend stuff to configure.ac
