- minor changes about shared library building under QNX6 into README.QNX
- added forgotten libSDLmain.a into distribution, SDL.qpg.in
- added header guards to the all headers.
- fixed fullscreen double buffered mode.
- fixed Photon crashes after/during using fullscreen OpenGL modes.
- added GL_MakeCurrent function.
- added SDL_VIDEOEXPOSE event, when OpenGL window have been resized
- added more HAVE_OPENGL checks to avoid dead code compilation without using OpenGL
- finished code reorganization (began into previous patches).

Subject: Package building for QNX6
I'm just completed the package description file for QNX6 - qpg, it is like a\
.spec files for Linux. Please place SDL.qpg.in file in the root of the proj\
ect, where .spec file is placed. And sdl12qpg.diff - just adding the SDL.qpg\
.in. The same for the SDL_image. I'm planning to add .qpg files creation for\
all SDL* projects.
As for shared library building for QNX6. It is very hard to improve the exis\
ting libtool code to support QNX shared libraries. Much easyiest is to remov\
e libtool.m4 code from the acinclude.m4 for those persons, who building shar\
ed libraries for QNX6. I'm described all what they need to do with .so under\
QNX6 in the README.QNX file. And 90% of people used the precompiled librari\
es, so I think it is not big problem :)

Subject: Patches for tests and QNX6
Here more fixes for the QNX6 in sdlqnx.diff file:
- Spellchecked README.QNX (thanks to Julian Kinraid)
- Fixed bugs in fullscreen mode: window region wasn't on top by default, so \
it caused some artifacts to be appeared on the screen, prevent window conten\
ts default filler in Photon while in fullscreen mode, it damages the screen.
- Added support for the SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS, SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED env variabl\
es.
- Some minor code restructurization.

1) graywin - added support for the gray gradient in the 15/16 bpp modes. Added SDL_VIDEOEXPOSE event handling.
2) testalpha - added support for the gray gradient in the 15/16 bpp modes.
3) testbitmap - added support for the gray gradient in the 8/15/16 bpp modes.

Subject: Re: [SDL] [patch] MMX alpha blit patches with MMX detection
I think everything is correct now. I've done as much testing as I could,
but some real-world testing wouldn't hurt, I think.
The patch is here : http://icps.u-strasbg.fr/~marchesin/sdl_mmxblit.patch
If you do byte-by-byte comparison of the output between C and MMX
functions, you'll notice that the results for 555 and 565 RGB alpha
blits aren't exactly the same. This is because MMX functions for 555 and
565 RGB have an higher accuracy. If you want the exact same behaviour
that's possible by masking the three lower alpha bits in the MMX
functions. Just ask !
I removed one MMX function because after I fixed it to match its C
equivalent, it revealed to be slower than the C version on a PIII
(although a bit faster on an Athlon XP).
I've also added MMX and PIII replacements for SDL_memcpy. Those provide
some speed up in testvidinfo -benchmark (at least for me, under linux &
X11).

Subject: bug in SDL_GetRGB/GetRGBA
There's an embarrassing bug in GetRGB/GetRGBA which apparently has been there
for years. It incorrectly converts colours with < 8 bits/channel.
It came to my attention today in #sdl.
What it does now is (for each channel):
rv = (pixel & fmt->Rmask) >> fmt->Rshift;
*r = (rv << fmt->Rloss) + (rv >> (8 - fmt->Rloss));
which is wrong; the last line should be
*r = (rv << fmt->Rloss) + (rv >> (8 - (fmt->Rloss << 1)));

Subject: RISC OS patches
This patch includes a patch to configure.in for RISC OS cross compiling
which was somehow missed from last time.
It also corrects BPP setting and checking behaviour.

There was one additional patch I forgot to send. I needed to add a few
exports to the exports file.

I updated the patch for current CVS. There are a lot of changes, but I
don't think I've broken anything. This patch also improves the behavior
of window minimize/deminimize.

Subject: New test for overlays
While writting QNX Photon Overlay code I've found that the existent overlay test application is not enough, it performs too artificial tests - it always moves/resizes the overlay's viewport, but in the real life that happens very rare. So I decided to write new test (commonly base on testoverlay.c code) and called it testoverlay2 :)
moose.dat - raw 8 bit paletted data of the small movie. (It was a moose.gif, also included in the attachment as reference, but not needed for this test, it is just for information). I cannot find, who created this .gif, so no credits this time :) But over inet I saw this gif zillion times, so I think we do not infringing somebody rights :)

Subject: SDL/QNX forgotten fixes
Just found, that one chunk for configure.in has not been applied and one for\
gotten by me :) Please add it to CVS.
P.S. Now QNX6.2.1 have the dlopen in libc and in the libltdl. So libc's vari\
ant more prefered, and ltdl rest for compatibility. In this small patch I wa\
s added proper checks.
