Chad Versace 529b6d1f3d mesa: Remove rounding bias in _mesa_float_to_half()
Not all float32 values can be exactly represented as a float16.
_mesa_float_to_half() rounded such intermediate float32 values to zero by
truncating unrepresentable bits in the mantissa.

This patch improves _mesa_float_to_half() by rounding intermediate float32
values to the nearest float16; when the float32 is exactly between two
float16 values we round to the one with an even mantissa. This behavior is
preferred over the old behavior because:
  - It has reduced bias relative to the old behavior.

  - It reproduces the behavior of real hardware: opcode F32TO16 in
    Intel's GPU ISA.

  - By reproducing the behavior of the GPU (at least on Intel hardware),
    compile-time evaluation of constant packHalf2x16 GLSL expressions will
    result in the same value as if the expression were executed on the GPU.

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.
