- 0: no multi-threading
- 1: gif packet processing and texture uploads run parallel with rendering, the slowest decides the fps, dual-cores can still suffer by the spin loops, I'll check that when I compile pcsx2 on my notebook
- 2: two rendering threads, on a decent cpu packet processing is going to be slower now, this is probably going to increase fps the most on quads
- 3: small fps increase
- 4+: even smaller.
If you have a quad cpu with HT, 6 is the max, 1 + 1 is needed for pcsx2 and gsdx's basic tasks.
Also hacked palette writes to not force a read-back in hw mode (added in previous rev), it hit render targets in a surprising large number of games.

The problem would cause lost controls or "Controller disconnected" messages in a few games.
This fix is temporary and only works with Lilypad, until we take care of the core issue.

* new dev option CMAKE_BUILD_PO: control regeneration of po file. By default true in release build
* Add a hack for multiarch version of wxwidget

- Use float instead of int for the video framerate.
- Use 59.94 instead of 60 for the ntsc framerate.
This replaces a previous hackfix with a better one, but it's still not ideal.
The ideal solution for the video encoding side would be to use an actual fraction (60000/1001) and pass this fraction to the encoder.
The ideal solution for the gsdx side would be to deduce the real framerate from the timing parameters.

Skygunner crashing on boot.
James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing doing a huge Vram usage when opening the weapons screen and making the system crawl at it. Couldn't test much with this one and only added the US version for now.

Added a new option to the hacks section that sends a tabulator key press to PCSX2.
This toggles the turbo mode of the emulator, so users with pads don't have to reach out to the keyboard anymore when they want to switch between normal and turbo gameplay :)
Note:
I choose R3 for now since most games don't use that button. This could be made configurable in the future though.

See tools/dynacrchack/DynaCrcHack.c for full instructions.
For development of CRC hacks (and just for the fun of creating such a system), Allows GSdx to load and use CRC hack logic from an external DLL, and reload it, at runtime, whenever this DLL changes (but act normally if this DLL isn't found).
This external DLL is compiled from a single C source file (a sample is provided, containing the current MGS3 CRC hack logic). There's also a system to automatically compile this C file into the DLL whenever the C file is modified, thus creating a system of instant [save C file] -> [GSdx switches to the new logic].
It's actually a pretty cool system, and might have other usages where it's useful, for the sake of tests/development/tweaking, to modify code logic during runtime. The overhead of such system compared to pre-compiled code is very low (e.g., in the case of CRC hacks which are called thousands of times/sec, I couldn't notice any difference in performance).
Compilation of the C file is currently done using TCC (Tiny C Compiler - http://bellard.org/tcc/ - extremely fast, light and powerful). TCC itself needs to be downloaded separately (~250K download, no install required). The system currently supports Windows only.
