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.

that removeChild(Node*), removeChild(uint) and equivilant Geode methods are
now inline methods, not designed to be overriden, and seperated out the
multiple remove method to be called removeChildren(uint, uint) which is
now the only virtual method. There removeChildren is now the method to
override in subclasses.
This reorganisation requires some call code to be rename removeChild usage
to removeChildren.
be individually turned on or off. Moved the OpenFlight code across to use the
new scheme, removing the old hack of using node masks to achieve the same end
result.
copy constructor which takes an optional Cloner object, and the old
osg::Object::clone() has changed so that it now requires a Cloner as paramter.
This is passed on to the copy constructor to help control the shallow vs
deep copying. The old functionality of clone() which was clone of type has
been renamed to cloneType().
Updated all of the OSG to work with these new conventions, implemention all
the required copy constructors etc. A couple of areas will do shallow
copies by design, a couple of other still need to be updated to do either
shallow or deep.
Neither of the shallow or deep copy operations have been tested yet, only
the old functionality of the OSG has been checked so far, such running the
viewer on various demo datasets.
Also fixed a problem in osg::Optimize::RemoveRendundentNodesVisitor which
was not checking that Group didn't have have any attached StateSet's, Callbacks
or UserData. These checks have now been added, which fixes a bug which was
revealled by the new osgscribe demo, this related to removal of group acting
as state decorator.
