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.

In osg::isGLExtensionOrVersionSupported in src/osg/GLExtensions.cpp when
using indirect X11 rendering,
glGetIntegerv( GL_NUM_EXTENSIONS, &numExt );
is leaving numExt uninitilized causing the following glGetStringi to
return NULL when the extension number isn't present. Passing NULL to
std::string() then crashes. This is with the following nVidia driver.
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 256.35
I went ahead and initialized some of the other variables before
glGetInitegerv in other files as well. I don't know for sure
which ones can fail, so I don't know which are strictly required.

examples\osgautocapture\osgautocapture.cpp
-fixed a bug with --active command line option not rendering
-added --pbuffer command line option
-changed very confusing #ifdef 0
-added OSG_GLES GL_RGB readPixels support if available (UNTESTED)"
Most notable the __hpux define stuff. The __hpux__ variant seems to be not
defined which resulted in a compile error at this time. Consequently I have
replaced all occurances of __hpux__ with __hpux. And huge surprise: now osg
plugins are found and loaded correctly ...
The next notable one is the MSVC_IDE fix which makes the nmake Makefiles cmake
generator target behave like the ide one. Showed up because I started to do
scripted builds with nmake instead of devenv...
The rest is the usual bunch of stuff that just happens during normal
coding ..."
