Source Changes

--------------

Rewrote tilemap.c as a C++ class. For now kept the global functions

and just inline mapped them to the class. Will do a pass soon to

actually update drivers to use the C++ methods directly. Also, the

tilemap callbacks are now delegates which should make for cleaner

integrating into modern devices and drivers going forward.

[Aaron Giles]

 

Add libjpeg; converted Sliver to decompress pictures on the fly

[David Haywood, R. Belmont]

 

Remove support for 4bpp packed graphics. These only manifested for

drivers that used GFX_RAW support for 4bpp systems, and yet we had a

bunch of extra code to support it. Updated these drivers to do without

it and removed all the extra code for supporting it. [Aaron Giles]

 

tagmap is just a C++ template now. Added iterators to it as well.

Updated a few outlying uses. [Aaron Giles]

bunch of kludges [Angelo Salese]

i386: Made stack limit checks better handle the difference between 16

and 32-bit stacks in IRET and RETF. [barry Rodewald]

memory shares. [Aaron Giles]
