* fix the new extra thread option in the gui dialog
* implement condition variable on linux. Will need some benchmark.

This makes the Arc the Lad fog issue go away.
Review would be nice though :)

- 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.

- 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.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4792 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
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...)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4787 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
GSdx: remove some linux dialog options which were already controlled by PCSX2

The Lord of the Rings: the Third Age (Removing fat stripes on screen).
Digimon Rumble Arena 2 (Half screen issue).
Star Wars - The Force Unleashed (Hiding HUD and 3d issues. Not perfect and NTSC-U only, not sure if it works with PAL).
Star Wars Battlefront 1/2 (Huge VRAM usage issue. NTSC-U only, not sure if it works with others).
Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre (Half screen issue and removes the night vision filter which was broken and using a lot of VRAM).
Minimal changes to other CRC hackfixes and GameDB.

zzogl-pg win: Patch by Kosmos in the forums, corrects a typo that was causing window size to appear as height x height instead of width x height in windows OS (was breaking fullscreen at it too). Thanks :)

Fallback to the old render target read for games that do block level reads (Gust titles).

Fixed Busin 0: Wizardry and Chaos Legion in hardware rendering, possibly others (that read back the output) as well.
The fix could use a review though, as I'm not sure it's safe :p
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4639 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
New define "NO_CRC_HACKS", for testing how games work without hacks easily.
Gets enabled together with the no cache define but can be toggled individually as well.
Also I've been told to mention that these changes are not directly benefiting the end user.
Gamers: This doesn't fix your DragonBall, okay? :p

- Allow filtering setting for native resolution hardware rendering, as it's not tied to the resolution.
- Add ST / UV coordinate tweaking defines to more easily debug small rendering glitches.
- Add a define to bypass the hardware renderer texture cache. With this enabled, speed drops to slower than software rendering.
It fixes nearly all hardware rendering issues though and can be used to see how games *would* look if we had a new cache ;)
Thanks for the help, sudonim :)

1/ Allow a resize of the render zone.
2/ Do not update title in fullscreen which create some flashes
