Paul Berry 5fd67fac14 i965/blorp: Reduce alignment restrictions for stencil blits.
Previously, we aligned all stencil blit operations to multiples of the
size of a tile, since stencil buffers use W-tiling, and blorp has to
approximate this by configuring the 3D pipeline for Y-tiling and
swizzling coordinates.

However, this was unnecessarily conservative; it turns out that the
differences between W-tiling and Y-tiling are confined to 32-byte
sub-tiles within the 4k tiling pattern; the layout of these 32-byte
sub-tiles within the larger 4k tile is the same (8 sub-tiles across by
16 sub-tiles down, in column-major order).  Therefore we only need to
align stencil blit operations to multiples of the sub-tile size.

Note: although the performance improvement of this change is probably
quite small, the fact that W-tiling and Y-tiling formats only differ
within 32-byte sub-tiles will be essential in a future patch to ensure
that stencil blits work correctly between parts of the miptree other
than level/layer 0.  Making this change provides handy documentation
(and validation) of this fact.

NOTE: This is a candidate for stable 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.
