Stella SVN r2275

"r2273
Large reorganization of the OpenGL code, separating out FBSurfaces into
distinct GUI vs non-GUI (aka TIA) classes. This makes it easy to proceed
from this point on, since I don't have to worry about breaking one mode
when making changes to the other.

Preliminary support for TIA scanlines in OpenGL mode. It's disabled for
now, but is progressing nicely. This will be part of the new TV effects
in the next major release.
r2274
Updated VS 2010 project files for recent OpenGL class changes.
r2275
Updated VS 2005 project files for recent OpenGL changes. "

Before: http://i.imgur.com/EDdVA.png
After: http://i.imgur.com/h6GuY.png
Still a few bugs in this implementation: zcomploc switching is not yet
implemented, and the color is wrong with this test: http://codepad.org/7GpxklOi
(red on Dolphin, gray on Wii).
* Include the zcomploc bit in the shader UID
Fixes issues with switching zcomploc on/off during execution. "

OpenBOR v3.0 Build 3416

"History
----------------------
In 2004, Senile Team released Beats of Rage, a free beat-'em-up for DOS inspired by SEGA's Streets of Rage series and using sprites from SNK Playmore's King of Fighters series. The game spread only by word of mouth, but it nonetheless amassed popularity very quickly. Senile Team soon released an edit pack allowing anyone interested to create a mod for the BOR engine. In 2005, Kirby2000 asked Senile Team to open the source code to BOR. They agreed, and OpenBOR was born. Development on the engine was continued by the community, and still is to this day.
