Probably only of interest to testers (and me). Absolutely do NOT select the reference device even out of extreme morbid curiosity. It's not even very good at being a reference despite being slower than you can probably believe.

Now, a note about the actual issue. Destination alpha tests can be used on the GS as one of the workarounds for a lack of stencils. If you use a destination alpha test and leave alpha writing on, the GS will only write each pixel until you write an alpha value which would fail the test. This works to a point in gsdx without further hacking, but that point is when within a single batch of primitives the same pixels are written multiple times and the destination alpha test is expected to update. I did experimentally make a tight loop updating the stencil with a draw then drawing for one primitive at a time, but it was prohibitively slow (over 80% fps loss, you really don't want to know).
Destination alpha testing cannot be directly implemented in D3D9 or D3D10, but (probably) can in D3D11 (with a speed hit for sure, but I doubt it'll be 80%). I'll be getting a new graphics card and looking into that.
And before some idiot says it, the answer is no. OpenGL does not help.

This may make gsdx slightly slower for everyone (I don't know an easy way to restrict this to affected systems), especially if using 8-bit textures.

So, in the end I only properly understood the old code after finding all the problems with my version. I'm not sure whether any changes I've made are improvements any more, I'll need to review it with what I've learned in mind. This effort might've been a big waste of time.

- Removed the #define DISABLE_CRC_HACKS (since it's at the GUI now).
- reverted r5315 and r5319 (which prevented gs dumps to have a correct CRC).
- Restored the functionality of these revisions via simple skip of the other hack calls.

* reset shader state. Avoid to reuse invalid data on plugin reload
gsdx:
* add an hack to unattach/attach the gl context from different thread. Help to solve some crashes. The best will be to move gpu operation out of gsreadfifo but it would need more works
* implement logz for test purpose (don't seem to help)
gsdx replay:

Explanation, because this gives me a headache and this might save someone else one (or I might be wrong and they might see why): in D3D10, 0.0 points to the centre of the leftmost texel and 1.0 points one texel to the right of the rightmost texel, so to map a UNORM uniformly across a texel we need to multiply the input by (w-1)/w. In D3D9 0.0 points to the left edge of the leftmost texel and 1.0 to the right edge of the rightmost texel so after the multiplication we add 1/2w.
Actual texture sampling is probably not right for at least one of D3D9 and D3D10, but this headache is killing me.

* add a script to run cg compiler on glsl file:
+ handy to check the syntax
+ output the asm of the shader
- unfortunately don't support latest glsl construct but better than nothing

- Added "Aggressive-CRC" checkbox at the HW hacks section of the config dialog.
- The following hacks are now activated only in aggressive mode:
- God of War 2: disable water effect/lines, disable global haze.
- FFX, FFX2, SSX3 (the full crc hack from r5214).
- Shadow of the Colossus: disable (over)bloom.
- Reverted the Valkyrie Profile 2 hack to pre- r5214.
- Some CRC fixes by comments on r5214.
- Regression fix of dynamic crc hack (INITIAL_MODE = 0 didn't compile)

Allows to have a single dynaCRC DLL for several games, differentiated by their CRCs by using the new utility IsCRC(0x12345678, 0x87654321, ...).
Note: With old GSdx (and updated new DynaCrcHack.c), IsCRC always returns false.

- 14 Updated hacks, 41 new hacks (See full list at the first comment).
- New crc-hacks might have patial crc lists, so it's possible that some copies won't get the benefit (yet).
- Non crc-hacks code was NOT imported from Cutie, so some crc hacks might not be as effective as within Cutie itself.
- New region: CH, few more CRCs.
Note:
Due to the very big list of affected games, I couldn't test the vast majority of them, and so your help would be appreciated in testing. Please report (even if someone else already reported with the same result as yours) with the following format:
<game name> - <better/worse/same> (reason) - tested <little/medium/much>
e.g.:
Tomb Raider Legend - Better (removes garbage graphics) - tested a little.
GTA San Andreas - Better (removes ghosts) - tested a little.
And of course, big thank you goes to the author of Cutie, for the time put into improving PCSX2, and for respecting the GPL license and releasing the code.

* replace the last deprecated variable in the shader. Remain the issue that host enable 1 output and the shader write 2 outputs
* It seems that VBO does't depends on the VAO but vertex format depends on both VBO/VAO so I set the format multiple time. Not sure the behavior is fully correct

* Require an OpenGL3 GPU (==Dx10) ie Nvidia >= 8800, AMD >= HD2000)
* Require an OpenGL4.2 compatible drivers => no opensource driver supported neither Intel driver.
* Build by default without SDL support which will dropped later. You need to add this define "ENABLE_SDL_DEV" on Win.

* Remove logz, useless since openGL support 32bits Z buffer
* Update hack section with a table. Note don't put MSAA (not yet implemented) to have a nice square
