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.

There was code in the osgViewer/Viewer.cpp and osgViewer/CompositeViewer.cpp that transformed the Y-coordinates of an event. The code in the composite viewer did however miss the touch-data of the event. I thought that it should really be the GUIEventAdapter that should know about this, and hence I added the
GUIEventAdapter::setMouseYOrientationAndUpdateCoords which is re-computing the coordinates. First I simply added a boolean to the setMouseYOrientation function:
setMouseYOrientation( MouseYOrientation, bool updatecooreds=false );
but then the serializer complained.
This function is called from both the Viewer and the CompositeViewer. We have not tested from the viewer, but I cannot see it would not work from visual inspection.
The other change is in MultiTouchTrackballManipulator::handleMultiTouchDrag. I have removed the normalisation. The reason for that is that it normalised into screen coordinates from 0,0 to 1,1. The problem with that is that if you have a pinch event and you keep the distance say 300 pixels between your fingers, these 300 pixels represent 0.20 of the screen in the horizontal domain, but 0.3 of the screen in the vertical domain. A rotation of the pinch-fingers will hence result in a zoom in, as the normalised distance is changing between them.
A consequence of this is that I have changed the pan-code to use the same algorithm as the middle-mouse-pan.
The rest of it is very similar from previous revision, and there has been some fine-tuning here and there.
