Those two additional options can now be set using the Options::setOptionsString() function (just like the already existing OSG_CURL_PROXY & OSG_CURL_PROXYPORT options).
This is a convient solution to limit the freezing effect one may face in case the targeted server is down or too slow.
I successfully compiled and used this updated version on Windows in my application.
And by default those settings are not set (so no change in the behavior if you don't need them).

First Submission email from Gustav:
"This submission adds a --cache option to osgconv and osgviewer that enables setObjectCacheHint(osgDB::Options::CACHE_ALL); It greatly reduces memory usage when a .osg file has lots of external references with ProxyNode:s that points to the same file.
Options are also added to the osg plugin. The code was already mostly implemented but there was no way to change the options.
includeExternalReferences
writeExternalReferenceFiles
A counter is added to keep track if an external file has already been written down to avoid writing the same file over and over again. If it has already been written once then it is not written again.
The counter is added to the Output class in osgDB.

Second Submission email from Gustav:
"This is a continuation to my previous submission.
I noticed that the same problem that I fixed in ProxyNode.cpp for the osg plugin (external files being written over and over again) also existed in the ive plugin. I attached a submission where the ive plugin remembers which external files that have already been written and do not write them again."
Changes to the above done by Robert Osfield,
changed command line parameter to --enable-object-cache
changed set/get methods in osgDB::Output and ive/DataOutputStream.cpp to be s/getExternalFileWritten(const std::string&)
cleaned up set up of osgDB::Options.
At the moment it outputs DXF for whatever geometry is contained in the node it would be nice to draw the model as it is rendered (points/lines/surface)
If people could also test against other apps that need to read DXF, the format is a bit of a black art and not all importers support all features so it might need some options to tweak the output.
It has some rather clever colour lookup stuff to match real colours against the limited DXF palette. I cracked the code of the Autocad indexed colours!"
GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit extension is available. This is due to the early
return from the constructor if this is missing.
As far as I read the standard extension documents, this blit call is not
required to have packed depth stencil fbos.
The change fixes this and allows packed stencil attachments on machines
without the multisample blit command."
of these methods in src/osgViewer/Renderer.cpp to make sure that the draw thread keeps references to all in scene graph Cameras
that are being used by the drawing threads, to keep the Camera's alive even when the main thread removes these Cameras from the scene graph.
1. I've implemented an option controlled route by which users can still access the old method of extracting the zip content to the local filesystem. This is in response to Ulrich's comments about zip files encorporating files other than those that OSG knows about, but which an application may require.
To access this the user makes the following call on their options object that they pass to the reader. Without it, the plugin will extract by default to memory.
local_opt->setPluginStrData("zipextract","filesystem");
2. The second change is that I've moved the declaration of one of the variables to within the numitems loop so that if loading of a specific file within the zip fails, subsequent files still load correctly. This was the issue that Ulrich raised."
