I am trying to integrate this contribution in the code base but after
too much hours spent on this, I finally won't. Three reasons :

 - it doesn't compiles under MSVC, for obscure reason I don't understand.
 - there are a lot of files for the base package that are not strictly
needed at run times : lots of .xcf files ( gimp source ), xml files that
are not property files, xsl files.
 - it doesn't use the present convention of being included in a single
directory : separated extern texture directory, Assembly (?) directory.

So I left to others the choice of including it or not. This patch is not
straightforward ( lots of template, imbrication level and inlines of all
sort, including the use of function pointers to inline code ) and
requires a lot of time to sort things out.
