Format of root RSL nodes was changed, hence previous shader networks needs to replace those nodes.

ProjectSetup: Using relative pathes for resource directories.
ImageView: Auto update checkbox.
ImageView: Reset zoom button.

... 5 часов времени было потрачено, на то чтобы догадаться, что надо добавить непонятно-волшебную строку PYTHONPATH=C:\Autodesk\Maya2012\bin\python26.zip
Пачему? Где логика? Почему это работает? Someone can explain me, why this works?!!!

Liquid (mesh branch). Changes in source files location.

I've updated liquidmaya (mesh branch) on SourceForge to version 2.4.0, according to last version of duran-duboi branch . Stéphane Deverly did a great job for enhancing liquidmaya in last time.  I've merged almost all new features from his sources, but our branches are not fully identical. As I'm using cmake for code building, I've decided to rearrange a bit location of source files for sake of simplifying configuration  in CMakeLists.txt files.
