The Wild Arms Offset hack can only be on or off. There is no third
state. Convert the three-state checkbox into a two-state checkbox, fix
the description and remove a leftover.
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.

Adding KrossX's Wild Arms text alignment hack to the new dialog box. This hack is actually very interesting for a number of games. It should work well in cases where game designers adjusted everything pixel perfect for the GS, that usually breaks with upscaling.
It should be generalized and renamed later.

Committing a hack KrossX prepared (thanks) ;)
It can be used to fix bad character sprites in Gust games.

- GSWnd is not implemented, no config dialogs either
- no output, just the null device
- threading classes were not tested (my first experience with pthread)

32-bit depth buffers for D3D9 users if available. Lots of code shuffling for reasons I don't even remember. Stuff. Pretty much just the 32-bit depth buffers. That's good though, you don't have to envy D3D10 users half as much now.

GSDx: Removed discards from partial colclamp support as it wasn't doing much good and definitely won't be necessary with the next stage of support. No significant functional change probably.
As before, please do a full rebuild of gsdx. I hate it as much as you but don't know how to make VS smarter about this.

Fixes shadows in Ico and Shadow of the Colossus and hopefully fixes more effects in other games.

* Removed GSTextureFX classes
* Built shaders right into GSState classes, using GSStateDX as an interface, so that all shader caches get auto-destroyed along with GSState.
In addition to being a bit of a code cleanup, it should be a bit more efficient too since all of the extra dereferences to GSState from GSTextureFX have been removed. :)
