dd996a3289 Introduced CMake option OSG_PROVIDE_READFILE option that defaults to ON, but when switched to OFF disables the building of the osgDB::read*File() methods,
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.

1e886ce539 From Paul Melis, "While trying out the osgbrowser example (where I had forgotten to update
LD_LIBRARY_PATH so the XUL libs would be found) I noticed that although
the gecko plugin was found it could not be loaded. But this did not
trigger any visible warning/error message (at least not without INFO
notify level). Would you mind if we change the notify level for a
dlerror() to WARNING? This will also make it more explicit for the case
when a plugin isn't actually found, which seems to come up a lot for
novice users (e.g. no freetype on win32, so no freetype plugin, etc).
Also, the current error message is misleading ("Warning: Could not FIND
plugin to ...") because the it's not always a case of not finding the
plugin. I slightly enhanced the situation of not finding a plugin versus
finding it but not being able to load it.

Here's also a few fixes to some of the examples:
- osgfont: make usage help line more in line with the actual behaviour
- osgcompositeviewer: complain when no model file was provided
- osgmovie: don't include quicktime-dependent feature on Linux
- osgocclussionquery: comment addition (as I was surprised that lines
were being drawn in a function called createRandomTriangles())"

4f881b9a09 From Jeremy Moles,"Here's a small example I us to test text rendering in osgWidget; I
figured it might be helpful to folks in OSG who need to do the same.
