Update to bsnes v028r01? release.

New WIP posted, Linux only. Need all the testers I can
get on this one, please.

 First and foremost, I spent about four hours figuring out how to
disable the screensaver on Linux. I tried XSetScreensaver,
XResetScreenSaver, XScreenSaverSuspend, DPMSDisable, synthetic
XSendEvent, and all of them failed miserably. I ended up getting it to
work with only one thing: XTestFakeKeyEvent. I send a fake keypress
every ~20 seconds. The key send is keycode (not keysym) 255. I don't
know of many 256-key keyboards, so I think that should be fine.

 Anyway, testing would be greatly appreciated. Please make sure the
synthetic key events do not interfere with your applications in any
way. Technically, the fake key send goes to whatever the active app
is. It shouldn't matter as the keycode used is undefined. I haven't
seen any GTK+ or Qt apps do anything with it, they just ignore it. If
any issues come up, then the best I can do is enable the screensaver
whenever bsnes doesn't have focus, and disable when it does have
focus. I think it should be fine, though. Totem uses the same trick
and nobody seems to mind. mplayer tries all of my above methods plus
bizarre fake messages and dbus commands to try and stop the
screensaver, and it still fails for a lot of people.

 Next up, I've extended the Xv renderer. It can handle RGB15, 16, 24,
32 and YUY2 formats now. It defaults to RGB ones if you have them. I'd
like if all of them could be tested. RGB15 and 16 should be perfect,
24 and 32 will likely have bad pointer arithmetic, but will hopefully
work.

 Need to set driver to "xv", and check what you have with "xvinfo". It
defaults to RGB16, then RGB15, then RGB32, then RGB24, then YUY2, then
it gives up and fails. In the future we can see about letting the
encoding be user-selectable.

               That's exactly it, sorry. Plus I don't want to burden
him more than I do already.
