[Ohrrpgce] DirectX Graphics backend, Beta test

[Jay Tennant]

Well, I haven't heard any negative results about the directx backend test, except for a segmentation violation on a pre-directx 9 machine (which this backend does not support, and a safe-fail is being worked out), and swapping graphics adapters while the program is running. Aside from these issues, the backend seems to be working fine.

I guess it's ready for the repository now! :D

To clarify, the image in the test app looks like scan lines with the occasional red, green, and blue dots. This image scrolls to the left. A link to the image, generated by setting all options on, screenshot format to .png, at 960 x 600:

Everyone hates serious support issues, so if I could get a little more feedback, it'd be appreciated. Pending the solution to one ohr engine bug (certain notifications relating to ohr mouse state (not os mouse state)), the gfx_directx backend will be publicly released.
