Completed work on X11_CreateTexture. Added lots of safety features. These include support for drawing a texture using the core protocol while other textures are drawn using Xrender if Xrender does not support the color format of the said texture or any other fault with Xrender.

SDL on Sony Playstation3
------------------------

Installation:
  First, you have to install the Cell SDK
  - Download the Cell SDK installer RPM and ISO images to
    a temporary directory such as /tmp/cellsdk.
  - Mount the image: mount -o loop CellSDK-Devel-Fedora_3.1.0.0.0.iso /tmp/cellsdk
  - Install the SDK installer: rpm -ivh cell-install-3.1.0-0.0.noarch.rpm
  - Install the SDK: cd /opt/cell && ./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install

  You'll than need to install the SPU-libs
  - Run make ps3-libs && make ps3libs-install

  Finally, install SDL
  - Go to SDL-1.2/ and build SDL like any other GNU style package.
  e.g.
    - Build the configure-script with ./autogen.sh
    - Configure SDL for your needs: ./configure --enable-video-ps3 ...
    - Build and install it: make && make install


Todo:
  - Mouse & Keyboard support
  - On SPU-side the current scaler and converter restrictions are:
    - resolution has to be a multiple of 8 (will work on that)
    - scaler/converter only supports the YV12 and IYUV format
    - the scaler works only bilinear (lanzos would be nice)
  - Optimize the SPU-program handling on the PPE side
  - Integrate spumedia in SDL

Have fun!
