- 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.

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.

Important: this is not a fix of the cause of the crashes, it just bypasses cases of sure crash. Once that spot is bypassed, things can go wrong elsewhere. Generally, however, things just continue normally. E.g. GT4 (camera changes), Tourist Trophy (camera changes), MGS3 (codec screen when CRC hacks are disabled) and probably more - now don't crash anymore, even at high resolution (but might still get some slowdowns).

The list is case insensitive and order insensitive.
E.g. Disable all CRC hacks: CrcHacksExclusions=all
E.g. Disable hacks for these CRCs: CrcHacksExclusions=0x0F0C4A9C, 0x0EE5646B, 0x7ACF7E03

onepad: add an option to control forcefeeback level
cmake: add an hidden option (SHARED_SDL) to build SDL as a shared library to allow pre-load

The problem as I understood is is incomplete COLCLAMP support.
Thanks to sudo for the hack :)
(Unfortunately we couldn't find out more about why these FMV also *all* flicker.)

Summary of changes...
Fixed menus and HUD for Spyro: A New Beginning and Spyro: the Eternal Night.
Fixed missing dialogs and reduced the VRam usage a bit for Tales of Legendia ("8-bit textures" help a bit more with Vram/speed). Should be playable now in hardware mode. Thanks to rama for figuring it could be hackfixed this way and the initial patch :)
Half-screen fixes for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2, X-men Origins: Wolverine, Call of Duty: World at War - Final Fronts.
Modified the Star Wars: Force Unleashed hackfix a bit, shouldn't have the see-thru objects anymore.
Also modified the Metal Gear Solid 3 and Gran Turismo 4 hackfixes as they needed different skip values for each region (PAL/NTSC). Thanx to avih for the region code... and the free C/C++ lessons :P
The hackfix for Sly 3 was still showing stripes for 3-D and two-player modes, fixed for NTSC version now and hopefully works for PAL one too.
Couple GameDB updates after the gif rewrite.

* use the standard 3 step flow: cmake, make, make install
* Remove L10N_PORTABLE option, superseeded by PACKAGE_MODE
* Extend PACKAGE_MODE to select the install directory (FHS or local bin)

it kinda works better if you make the hackfix use the function...
GSdx: Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2's hackfix works with NTSC version now too.

Adjusted the SW Battlefront hackfix for the PAL versions (NTSC-U and PAL versions have the same CRC but use slighty different buffer/texture addresses...)
