/**
    ViewDependentShadowTechnique is a base class for all 
    View Dependent Shadow techniques. It defines fundamental object structure 
    and methods to manage separate shadow resources for each view of the scene.
    By view we understand osg::View or SceneView instance and their associated 
    Camera. Typical osg application has one or more such views. View Dependent 
    Shadow techniques manage shadow generation for them.

    View Dependent Shadow techniques are used to optimize shadow algorithms for 
    part of the scene seen on the view. If rest of the scene is behind view 
    frustum, there is no sense in computing shadows for it. Since in practice we 
    often use 3d databases extending far beyond current camera frustum View 
    Dependent Shadow approach may produce much better shadows. 

    The other goal is to provide framework for thread safe rendering of 
    the shadows. It allows to use shadows with different OSG threading models.

    Conceptually ViewDependentShadowTechnique is similar to osgSim::OverlayNode.
    Its a container class for number of ViewData (or ViewData derived) objects 
    doing actual shadow work for each of the scene views. 

    But ViewDependentShadowTechnique is intended as foundation layer for all 
    derived classes so in some way it extends osgSim::OverlayNode approach a bit.

    HOW IT WORKS:

    ViewDependendentShadowTechnique is derived from osgShadow::ShadowTechnique
    and as such overrides virtual methods of osgShadow::ShadowTechnique.
    But most of the shadow dirty work is done by ViewData objects, 
    ViewDependendentShadowTechnique::cull is the only osgShadow::ShadowTechnique
    method where ViewDependendentShadowTechnique does something significant:

    What ViewDependentShadowTechnique::cull( CullVisitor & cv ) does ? 
    It identifies View. CullVisitor ptr is used as View identificator. 
    In practice we do not check and interpret what are actual Views and SceneViews 
    set up by application. We focus on Camera and CullVisitors as a identificators 
    of views. We can safely do this because each such view will have associated 
    unique CullVisitor used to cull the scene in every frame.
       
    Based on CullVisitor ptr passed to cull method, associated Technique::ViewData 
    object is created (if neccessary) and then seleced. Then control is passed to 
    this ViewData object. So, each view has its associated unique ViewData 
    (or derived) object performing dirty work of shadow resources management and 
    shadow generation for the view.

    To support creation of classes derived from ViewDependentShadowTechnique it 
    was neccessary to provide mechanism to override ViewData and allow for 
    initialization of new derived ViewData objects. Creation and initialization 
    is performed when ViewDependendentShadowTechnique::cull gets called with
    CullVistor ptr which does not yet have associated ViewData object. When it 
    happens, virtual initViewDependentData method is called to give 
    derived techniques a chance to allocate and iniitalize its specific 
    resources as new ViewData derived instance. In practice initViewDependentData 
    in derived techniques should look the same as in base class so as a convenience
    it was defined as META_ViewDependentShadowTechnique macro. Derived techniques
    use this macro to override initViewDependentData method for their usage.

    After ViewData derived object is construted and selected, control is passed 
    to this object by call to virtual ViewData::cull method. The rest of work 
    is the done by this object. ViewDependentShadowTechnique::ViewData is intended 
    as a base class so it does nothing. In practice the rest of dirty work will 
    do new ViewData classes implemented in derived techniques.
