The purpose is to emulate correctly destination alpha factor
An alpha channel of 128 is 1.0 in the GS but only ~0.5 in the GPU
I think few draw call use destination alpha so impact on perf must remains small.
The updated medium level will run for all sprites. It helps sotc blooming effect and it remains
fast enough to be enabled by default (at least on 3D games)
The new high level will run for all sprites + color clipping
Old way various check boxes to configure the plugin
New way an unified drop down list
* Level 0 (dev only) => disable (mostly) all hacks and auto skip depth.
* Level 1 (dev only ) => enable oi/oo/cu hacks, others remains disabled
* Level 2 (GL) => enable most hacks except a couple of one that were fixed on openGL (speed impact)
* Level 3 (DX) => enable all hacks
* Level 4 => enable also aggresive CRC
Note: windows gui must be updated, and it will be nice to create a global tooltip
Fixes a small oversight on my part. Which was setting the maximum anisotropy to (0,1,2,3,4) respectively, instead of (1,2,4,8,16). So when you selected x16 for example, you were actually only getting x4 >.>
Corrected now, and you will be getting the full x16 when selected :)

Adds anisotropic texture filtering (1x-16x) to the hardware settings. Enhances the visual quality of textures that are at oblique viewing angles.
Anisotropic filtering is automatically disabled if: 8-bit textures are enabled.

Performance note, it might be faster to replace the MODULO with an AND. Not sure on the impact
for the new time stretcher algo.
GSdx: fixed use-after-free (linux)
PCSX2:
* add a define to support address sanitizer (both rely on 0x20000000-0x3fffffff memory ranges..)
* sio_buffer out of bond (-1). Maybe we can move the flush in the 2 if previous branch. It would
avoid the extra test.
* wxGetEnv (linux) generates double free (maybe not thread safe). Cache the result so it doesn't crash
anymore when switching renderer
Comment/Review/Improvement are welcome :)

* update linux dialog: create a custom shader box and put it Shade boost and Fxaa
* force the reloading of the inifile after any configuration update.

* for the moment only the SW render is supported, hopefully HW will come some day. And linux only for the moment.
* 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.

Current goal is to implement the SW render with pure opengl instead of SDL.
I plan to use OpenGL4.2 capability (the latest actually) => need libglew1.7 and a Dx11 capable GPU/drivers.

* Add a map to handle the configuration
* Connect the window size option to the gui option

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

* Added DX11 support. DX11 enabled cards now give a +~40% speedup
* New SSE-X instructions we invented for PCSX2. Give a +200% speedup even on old CPUs.
* Full 64bit support. If you have 64 bit windows, be prepared for a 300% speed up.
* Implemented new DMAC, so far we have ~15 games that show improvements.
* Added support for USB-enabled vibrators. Feel the full pleasure of gaming, now also with PCSX2!
* SPU2-X now decodes Dolby Digital 7.1!
* Please test to find any bugs in the 24-thread code, it's a bit complex so some tiny bugs might have crept in.

Fixed a couple UI bugs: FirstTime Wizard display bug and the "Configure..." button in the plugin control panel grays out when it should.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2361 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Added interface.cpp (plugin/pcsx2 interface) and savestate.cpp to SPU2ghz, to help clean up SPU2.cpp.
