Kenneth Graunke 3aaf3c85e4 vbo: Remove pedantic warning about 'end' beind out of bounds.
The application supplied [start, end] range is merely a conservative
hint of the ranges of index values inside the index buffer.  There is no
requirement that all vertices in the range [start, end] be referenced.

Passing an 'end' value larger than the maximum legal index is perfectly
acceptible; applications can legally pass 0xffffffff when they don't
have a tighter bound readily available.

Thus, the warning doesn't indicate a correctness issue; it could only
indicate a performance issue.  However, it does not even do that.

glDrawRangeElements is designed to optimize non-VBO vertex data uploads
by providing an upper bound on the size of buffers a driver would need
to allocate.  With VBOs, the data is already in an uploaded buffer, so
the range doesn't help.

The clincher is: we only know _MaxElement for VBOs.  For user-space
arrays, we just set it to 2,000,000,000 (see mesa/main/varray.h:63.)
So we can only check this in the case where it is not useful.

Many applications, including the Unigine demos, currently trigger this
warning, which suggests the applications are buggy when they're actually
fine.  Eliminating the warning should confuse users less while not
actually losing any benefit to application developers.

NOTE: This is a candidate for release branches.

Quick Start
----- -----

Windows drivers are build with SCons.  Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
no longer shipped or supported.

Run

  scons osmesa mesagdi

to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or

  scons libgl-gdi

to build gallium based GDI driver.

This will work both with MSVS or Mingw.


Windows Drivers
------- -------

At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work.

Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.


General
-------

After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32.  If you don't like putting things
in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
executable(s).  Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.

The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
stdcall calling convention.

Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
the linker import files associated with the DLL files.

The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
mainly to get the better tessellator code.

If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
