* The CATMARK_QUAD_FACE_VERTEX kernel calculates the face-vertex for a quadrilateral face. It applies to every face after the first subdivision step, and may be applied for the first subdivision step of a quadrilateral coarse mesh.
* The CATMARK_TRI_QUAD_FACE_VERTEX kernel calculates the face-vertex for a triangle or quadrilateral face. It may be applied for the first subdivision step of a coarse mesh composed of triangles and/or quadrilaterals.
* Both kernels calculate each face-vertex using four vertex indices (triangles are specified by repeating the third index). Therefore neither kernel uses the F_ITa codex table, and instead the first vertex offset in the F_IT index table is stored in the FarKernelBatch's table offset.
All kernels take offset/length/stride to apply subdivision partially in each vertex elements.
Also the offset can be used for client-based VBO aggregation, without modifying index buffers.
This is useful for topology sharing, in conjunction with glDrawElementsBaseVertex etc.
However, gregory patch shader fetches vertex buffer via texture buffer, which index should also
be offsetted too. Although gl_BaseVertexARB extension should be able to do that job, it's a
relatively new extension. So we use OsdBaseVertex() call to mitigate the compatibility
issue as clients can provide it in their way at least for the time being.
Further leverage cmake object libraries to share object files for CPU
and GPU OSD libraries, avoiding duplicate complation for dynamic/static
build passes.
CMake restricts object library inputs to header and source files, so the
.inc files were renamed to .gen.h (which seems like a better name
anyway) to make CMake happy.
Also updated the .gitignore file to ignore .gen.h files.

- [Feature Adaptive GPU Rendering of Catmull-Clark Surfaces](http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/cloop/tog2012.pdf).
- New API architecture : we are planning to lock on to this new framework as the basis for backward compatibility, which we will enforce from Release 1.0 onward. Subsequent releases of OpenSubdiv should not break client code.
- DirectX 11 support
- and much more...
