Ventana BIF file format support

[Yves Sucaet]

Hi list,

We've been able to partly decipher the Ventana BIF format, however we have 
a problem figuring out the final tile stitching data. We'd be quite 
willing to contribute our code to OpenSlide, if somebody would be able to 
continue working on it and figure out the stitching. We have some 
technical understanding on what kind of information is contained in the 
BIF-files as well, for those interested.

Subject:        Major library cleanups; ops midlayer removed

Hi all,

I've pushed to master a significant set of cleanups:

- The ops midlayer has been removed. Vendor backends are now responsible 
for both slide parsing and tile rendering.  The reusable parts of the 
ops midlayer have been converted into generic utilities, and the 
format-specific pieces have been moved into the corresponding vendor 
backends.

- The library now retrieves level dimensions, downsample factor, and 
tile size hints from a generic level struct which is instantiated and 
populated by the vendor backend.

- GError is now used for all internal error reporting.

These changes should make the OpenSlide codebase much easier to 
understand and modify.

The introductory wiki page has been updated:
