After the removal of filtered vertices via Graph.purge_vertices(), the
values of known property maps are now kept consistent with the
unmodified graph.

This works around a compilation bug in Apple GCC 4.2 + Macports.

This implements a GraphView class which allows for convenient,
independent filtering graphs.

Now, whenever GraphWrap is being used, the property maps are always
in "checked" mode.

These functions/properties provide more information and control about
edge indexing, which might be useful.

The reserved size for the array was set to g.num_edges(), but it should
be set to the maximum edge index + 1, since some edges might have been
deleted.

Now vector types of property maps can be accessed as arrays with the
get_array() and 'a' property, just like scalar property maps.

This fixes an obvious problem, where the graph gets deleted, and the
descriptors are still lying around. Usage of orphaned descriptors will
now just raise a ValueError.

The __repr__ function of Edge, Vertex, and PropertyMap now give
something more informative about each object.

These functions group several scalar properties into one vector
properties, and ungroup a vector property into several scalar
properties.

This is a large commit which replaces lambda::bind with boost::bind in
most parts of the code. This improves compilation time, and slightly
decreases compilation memory usage in some cases.

No longer only thrown GraphError upon any error, but instead throw
specific exceptions which are more meaninful and are mapped to standard
python exceptions, such as IOError, ValueError and RuntimeError.

This prints useful library information.

Thins changes the graph filtering code slightly to wrap graph types with
GraphWrap, which automatically updates the edge index list when edges
are removed and added to the graph.

This also changes how graphs are passed to algorithms, which is now by
reference instead of pointer. (hence this touches lots of code, but
changes are trivial)

Now inline() automatically converts known variables (such as property
maps) and defaults to boost::python objects, instead of scxx objects.

The code now is only generated for the current filtered, reversed and/or
directed status of the graph, reducing compile time and binary size.

Edge modification (remove and add) is now protected by a GraphWrap
class, which takes care of the edge index housekeeping, which does not
need to be done by hand anymore.

The function is also no longer bound to one graph, and can take an
arbitrary number of variables of known or unknown types, including
graphs.

Now all symbols are exported by default, except those strictly marked
as hidden.

i.e. g.degree_property_map("in") will create and return a vertex property map
which corresponds to the in-degrees of the vertices. This is useful for
temporarily modifying or getting an array of degrees.

A property map object has now a get_array() member which returns an internally
owned array pointing to the property values.

This makes operations on graphs more flexible in some circumstances.

Also, get rid of g.underlying_graph(), and rely on "private" variable
g._Graph__graph instead.

This commit removes the internal property maps from the GraphInterface
class, and makes all property maps external by default. The internal
property maps were moved to the python layer.

Other objects are now automatically converted (tuple, lists, dicts,
str).

A couple of bugs fixed. Local frame dict is read-only in python, so the
updated arguments are returned in a dict instead.

The whole histogram code has been redone, and the code has been
simplified. The three-point vertex-edge-vertex correlation has been
scrapped, since it's not frequently used, and would make compilation
even more expensive.

This also adds some missing files to the generation routine.

Now graphml files properly contain all the supported value types, which
are all perfectly preserved when read (floating point data is now saved
in hexadecimal format). Several other improvements were made, such as
the ability to read and write to python file-like objects.

It is also now possible to have arbitrary python object properties, and
store them persistently (which is done internally with the pickling
interface).

vector<bool> was totally abolished, since its implementation is quite
broken. See: http://www.gotw.ca/publications/N1211.pdf and
http://www.gotw.ca/publications/N1185.pdf Now a uint8_t (aka. char) is
used in graph properties instead of a bool.

Graph types can now be fully pickled (this may not be feasible
memory-wise if the graph is too large, since the whole XML
representation is dumped to a string before it is saved on disc).

This commit splits libraph_tool into different libraries:
 
   - libgraph_tool_core
   - libgraph_tool_clustering (*)
   - libgraph_tool_community (*)
   - libgraph_tool_correlations (*)
   - libgraph_tool_distance (*)
   - libgraph_tool_generation (*)
   - libgraph_tool_layout (*)
   - libgraph_tool_misc (*)
   - libgraph_tool_stats (*)

It also adds the python sub-module 'test', which provides extensive unit
testing of the core functionality. The core library is fully functional
and all test pass successfully.

(*) -> module needs to be ported to new refactoring, and does not yet build

This is a huge commit which completely refactors the metaprogramming
engine which generates and selects (at run time) the graph view type and
the desired algorithm implementation (template instantiation) that runs
on it.

Things are laid out now as following. There exists a main underlying
graph type (GraphInterface::multigraph_t) and several other template
classes that mask it some way or another, in a hierarchic fashion:

     multigraph_t -> filtered_graph (edges only, vertices only, both)
         |                               |           |           |
         |                               |           |           |
         |-------(reversed_graph)--------|-----------|-----------|
         |                               |           |           |
         \------(UndirectedAdaptor)------------------------------/

The filtered_graph filters out edges and/or vertices from the graph
based on some scalar boolean property. The reversed_graph reversed the
direction of the edges and, finally, the UndirectedAdaptor treats the
original directed graphs as undirected, transversing the in- and
out-edges of each vertex indifferently. Thus, the total number of graph
view types is 12. (The option --disable-graph-filtering can be passed to
the configure script, which will disable graph filtering altogether and
bring the total number down to 3, to reduce compile time and memory
usage)

In general, some specific algorithm, implemented as a template function
object, needs to be instantiated for each of those types. Furthermore,
the algorithm may also depend on other types, such as specific
property_maps. Thus, the following scheme is used:

    struct my_algorithm // algorithm to be implemented
    {
        template <class Graph, class PropertyMap>
        void operator()(Graph *g, PropertyMap p, double& result) const
        {
            // ...
        }
    };

    // in order for the above code to be instantiated at compile time
    // and selected at run time, the run_action template function object
    // is used from a member function of the GraphInterface class:

    double GraphInterface::MyAlgorithm(string prop_name)
    {
        double result;
        boost::any vprop = prop(property, _vertex_index, _properties);
        run_action<>()(*this, bind<void>(my_algorithm(), _1, _2,
                                         var(result)),
                       vertex_scalar_properties())(vprop);
        return result;
    }

The whole code was changed to reflect this scheme, but now things are
more centralized and less ad-hoc code needed to be
written. Unfortunately, due to GCC's high memory usage during template
instantiations, some of the code (namely all the degree correlation
things) had to be split in multiple compilation units... Maybe this will
change in the future if GCC gets optimized.

This commit also touches other parts of code. More specifically, the way
filtering gets done is very different. Now we only filter on boolean
properties, and with the above scheme, the desired implementation runs
with the correct chosen type, and no implicit type conversions should
ever happen, which would have a bad impact on performance.

Everything was moved into the graph_tool directory, which should have,
after installation, the following structure:

graph_tool/                          Top-level package
      __init__.py                    Initialize the graph_tool package
      libgraph_tool.so               libgraph_tool submodule
      libgraph_tool.la               libtool file for libgraph_tool
      include/                       C++ include files for dynamically
                                     compiled code

Property maps can now be obtained as such:

         weight = g.edge_properties['weight']
         print weight[v] # v is a Vertex object
         weight[v] = 2.0
         # and so on...

The list of properties is obtained from g.vertex_properties,
g.edge_properties and g.graph_properties, which can be read as
dictionaries. The last can be set also, as such:

         g.graph_properties = {foo:"bar", baz:42}

Functions to add and remove vertices or adges were also added
(add_{vertex|edge}, remove_{vertex|edgge}).

Vertex and Edge types can also now be printed for convenience, as such:

       for v in g.vertices():
           print v
       for e in g.edges():
           print e

which results, for example, in:
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
(0,1)
(1,2)
(2,6)
(3,4)
(4,5)
(4,2)
(5,6)
(6,1)

(this also adds the forgotten graph_tool.py file, which was previously
on .gitignore)

Vertices and edges can be accessed from the graph class, as such:

    import graph_tool
    g = graph_tool.Graph()
    for v in g.vertices():
        for e in v.out_edges():
           # do something...

Additionally, the --edit-{vertex|edge|graph}-property was ported to the
new interface, and is working again, as it used to.

The Vertex and Edge class no longer have the 'get_property' and
'set_property' method. They'll be replaced by a new method of accessing
property maps.
