Thanks to mccdo at iastate.edu for the contribution, see Issue 373
+ Optimization: removed some unnecessary code in btConvexHullShape::localGetSupportingVertexWithoutMargin
+ Added autogenerated Visual Studio 2005 projectfiles (using a patched cmake 2.8.1 to avoid any references to cmake/absolute paths)
when converting existing objects to convex hull or mesh
One more method added to set spring equilibrium point directly for btGeneric6DofSpringConstraint
Deal with broken DNA serialization. Bullet 2.76 release revision 2035 - 2046 was broken, and this includes the Maya Dynamica plugin.
Added some workaround to deal with the broken .bullet files, instead of crashing.
Introduced generated unique id's, instead of the pointer address to avoid 64bit->32bit truncation issues
Use serializer->getUniquePointer instead of directly using a pointer
moved ChunkUtils::getNextBlock to bFile::getNextBlock.
Moved 'TEST_BACKWARD_FORWARD_COMPATIBILITY' to bDNA.cpp. Enable the define for further testing of .bullet format
Removed duplicate definitions and use the one in LinearMath/btSerialization.h
improve serialization based on feedback: make it easier to serialize a single object, or single shape, or single bvh.
Modified Bullet/Demos/ConcaveDemo to use btSerializer to serialize the btOptimizedBvh (or optionally the trimesh+bvh)
You can also serialize trimesh without BVH, use:
serializer->setSerializationFlags(BT_SERIALIZE_NO_BVH);// or BT_SERIALIZE_NO_TRIANGLEINFOMAP
Add flags to disable bvh and triangleinfomap serialization
btSerializer::setSerializationFlags(flags)
flag can have value BT_SERIALIZE_NO_BVH, BT_SERIALIZE_NO_TRIANGLEINFOMAP
Toggle between point to point and generic 6dof constraint for mouse picking in the demos
Use a 'equal vertex thresdhold' in the btVoronoiSimplexSolver of 0.0001f by default.
This can be disabled (or configured) using defaultCollisionConfiguration->getSimplexSolver()->setEqualVertexThreshold(0.f);
See http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=305
move btTriangleInfoMap.h into its own header, into the BulletCollision/CollisionShapes folder
add btTriangleInfoMap pointer to btBvhTriangleMeshShape, so we don't need to use the 'userpointer' anymore
preparation for serialization of btTriangleInfoMap.

So it is different from the in-place method (btQuantizedBvh::serializeInPlace/deserializeInPlace).
It is also possible to serialize/deserialize just the bvh, using the btSerializer (needs some code snippet/helper)
