( @Akien : this PR is for current HEAD only, not to be cherry-picked for 2.1.1 )
this is manual revertion of #6501 which introduced a bug that prevented
scons from detecting Mingw under Windows when MSVC was installed.
(thanks to @vnen for finding this)
AND
it fixes the actual bug that prevented scons from detecting MSVC standalone
compiler ( a confusions between ``VSINSTALLDIR`` and ``VCINSTALLDIR`` )
The freeware Standalone MSVC C++ Build Tools are available here :
http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
Under Windows, Scons is now capable of detecting and compiling with
standalone MSVC compilers (aka "Visual C++ Build Tools").
http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
Tried with version 2015, and native x86 and x64 compilers under
Windows 10 pro 64 and Windows 8.1 64, with the default Win8 SDK
provided by the "Visual C++ Build Tools" web-installer.
Follow the same compiling instructions than for compiling with Visual
Studio, except that Visual Studio is no more required.
KNOWN ISSUES :
- ``methods.detect_visual_c_compiler_version()`` will emit a warning message
on computers where the ``VSINSTALLDIR`` environement variable is not present.
But it should compile just fine and still automatically detects the 32 or
64 bits according to the compiler you picked.
TODO :
- eventually, update ``platform/winrt/dectet.py`` with function
``methods.msvc_is_detected()`` and try to compile winrt/UWP with
these standalone compilers (if you did not select Win10 SDK when
installing the standalone tools, you can run it again).
- update doc to make users aware of "Visual C++ Build Tools" aka
"stadalone MSVC".
- eventually, update ``methods.detect_visual_c_compiler_version()``
- Fix buildsystem for WinRT/UWP platform.
- Add audio driver and joystick mapping for WinRT.
- Enable thread class for WinRT.
- Refactor MSVC compiler architecture detection to methods.py, so it can
be used by Windows and WinRT.
add version_info and icon sections in "export to windows platform".
add version_info and icon to godot exe file (editor & template exe).
fix an problem in image class.
change all default icons to android export icon (a little more rounded).
create an python script for convert file to cpp byte array for use in
'splash.h'.

Build System:
-Big clean up of SCons, changed how builds are done to a much cleaner method (check the Github Wiki for instructions).
-Deactivated BlackBerry10 (sorry), if no mantainer found (or BlackBerry does not send us a Passort ;), platform will be removed as we have no longer devices to test.
Engine:
-Removed deprecated object and scene format (was in there just for compatibility, not in use since a long time).
-Added ability to open scenes even if a node type was removed (will try to guess the closest type).
-Removed deprecated node types.
