Utils

• Third parties : New Version ZLib 1.3.1
• Third parties : New Version MiniZip according to LibZlib 1.3.1 contrib/minizip
• Windows long file names are now correctly handled by Dtk_API
• Fixed

  Dtk_Roughness::Translate( const Dtk_dir & ) 

  not translating geometries that were added by

  void Dtk_Roughness::AddAssociatedGeometries( const Dtk_tab<Dtk_EntityPtr> & ) 

• Change class Dtk_feat_inner_thread fields from wchar_t* to Dtk_string Following methods are deprecated

  int get_def_type   (wchar_t **);      //Use GetDefinitionType()
  int get_def_value  (wchar_t **);      //Use GetDefinitionValue()
