Possibility to customize layout of installation of OCCT is introduced by:
- variable INSTALL_DIR_LAYOUT - select one of the two predefined layouts: either Windows (classic OCCT layout) or Unix (Linux standard)
- variables INSTALL_DIR_* (BIN, LIB, INCLUDE, RESOURCE, DOC, TESTS, SCRIPT, SAMPLES, DATA) - specify locations of relevant components
- variable INSTALL_DIR_WITH_VERSION (bool) - specifies whether full version of OCCT should be used in paths in Unix layout
Files LICENSE_LGPL_21.txt and OCCT_LGPL_EXCEPTION.txt are always installed.
Environment is extended to support non-default layouts.
For that, environment variables "CSF_OCCT*Path" are defined, corresponding to CMake variables INSTALL_DIR_* described above.
Visual Studio environment, DRAW, tests, samples are amended to use these variables instead of (or as alternative to) CASROOT.
Settings of Products-specific vars are removed from environment scripts.
File genconf.bat was corrected to avoid error message for the case when path to TCL contains spaces.
Product name in rc files changed to "Open CASCADE Technology".
Implementation of Ray Tracing mode in standard Qt sample

0024415: Update QT samples
Code which was based on QT3 was removed. Some bugs and warnings has been also fixed.
Porting from QT4 to QT5 sample files.
The purpose of this functionality is to bring a basic ray-tracing solution to existing OCCT visualization toolkit (TKOpenGL).
Currently ray-tracing visualization core supports sharp shadows, specular reflections, transparency and adaptive anti-aliasing.
However, the basis for all ray-tracing algorithms is versatile, allowing you to add new ray-tracing features easily (such as ambient occlusion).
All ray-tracing computations are performed on the GPU using OpenCL framework, allowing real-time rendering performance.
It is important to note, that real-time ray-tracing is possible using high-performance GPUs with support of OpenCL 1.1 and higher (such as NVIDIA GeForce 660 or ATI/AMD Radeon 7850).
When using low-end GPUs (such as NVIDIA GeForce 640) the ray-tracing performance may slow down significantly.
Therefore, even with NVIDIA GeForce 640 you can render scenes with the millions of triangles. The support of OpenCL-enabled CPUs and integrated graphics cards is not guaranteed.
