SSNES v0.5.1

"- Fix crash in SDL driver when font is being rendered, and no font was selected.
- External audio driver can override sample rate.
- Add fast-forward "hold" mode as an addition to the current "toggle" mode.
- Use SDL joypad driver in GUI for Win32 to make button mapping more consistent for odd drivers.
- Fix color mapping for bSNES CPU filters from RGBA to ARGB.
- Fix some non-compliances with the ISO C99 standard.
- Fix case where some joypad buttons would "mysteriously" be bound to certain actions.
- Greatly update Cg shader implementation. Its implementation is now on equal ground with XML shaders.
- Add lookup-textures to XML shader and Cg shader implementations. Allows i.e. backgrounds.
- Add access for shaders to access the results of previous passes. This allows an "additive" processing model rather than "serial" only.
- Add possibility for shaders to peek into game state (RAM values) and act on these for dynamic effects."

PCSX2 SVN r4713

"r4710
i18n: new organization of translation in 2 sides: iconized and the others.
r4711
cmake: do not compile removed pot files
i18n: forgot generate_pot.sh in previous commit
r4712
3rdparty: remove the heavy (+90MBytes) SDL test directory. Completely useless and save us few minutes of download
r4713
microVU:
- Reimplemented mini/max opcodes using integer comparison operations instead of double comparison. This results in a bit less code and integer operations tend to be faster than double ops (especially on AMD cpus). Thanks to pseudonym for the idea!
- Fixed some minor bugs in mVU dev builds.

pcsx2:
- Added __fc as a shorthand macro for __fastcall since we already have __ri and __fi macros."
