Haze rules!

0.68.

Note, this Release was put together by David Haywood, some of it is
untested but most of seems to work.

General Source Changes
----------------------

SHA1 hash support, including various new command line options [Farfetch'd]

Mame Blitter Generation Code [Phil Stroffolino]

Basic Direct3D blitting support [Leon van Rooij]

You need DirectX7 headers and libs to compile it, I'm using the set from
http://caesar.logiqx.com/html/tools/com ... ingw.shtml which has the
original MS headers (the same set is used for Allegro and FB Alpha) and
I've made a minor update to the ddraw code so that it compiles with this
set of headers (VC++ should still be fine as well).

The code manually imports the DirectDrawCreateEx() function so MAME
compiled with d3d support will (or rather should, I've not actually tested
that yet) still run on PC's with older versions of DirectX. It should work
with pretty much any 3D hardware (except perhaps older Voodoo-based cards),
and the speed should be similar to the DirectDraw blit (a bit faster for
some older cards).

-direct3d or -d3d: use Direct3D (default is off, overrides -dd);
-filter or -flt: use bi-linear filtering (default is on);
-texture_management: use DirectX texture management (default is off, but
some 3D cards need this (however, there's a small-ish speed-penalty)).
