[Bf-cycles] Learning about custom render engine integration into Blender using Cycles sources

[Brecht Van Lommel]

The start page for code docs is here:
https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Architecture

However if you are writing an addon it's really the Python API docs that
you need:
https://docs.blender.org/api/current/

Cycles is linked directly into Blender and has access to a C++ versions of
the Python API, and the C++ API is not available to external addons. But
they are exactly the same besides the language, and the documentation
applies to both.
