- All games on all drivers should work as before except "colmns97" and "stress" which crash due to sound system trouble.
- All idle skips are still included. They are quite a bit less effective than they were on the interpreter, but they still give a boost.
- Fast RAM bypass is not included yet so this does not represent final performance. That said, it's consistently faster than the interpreter even now. Example: sfiii3 on 0.126 gets 609% on the interpreter and 961% on the DRC.
Major thanks to Aaron for his assistance with several sticky core bugs and other issues encountered writing this.

Added new module uiinput.c which manages input for the user interface.
The OSD is responsible for pushing mouse events and character events
to this interface in order to support mouse movement and text-based
input (currently only used for the select game menu). Added support
for navigating through the menus using the mouse.
[Nathan Woods, Aaron Giles]
Redesigned the UI menus so that they can maintain a richer state. Now
the menus can be generated once and reused, rather than requiring them
to be regenerated on each frame. All menus also share a comment eventing
system and navigation through them is managed centrally. Rewrote all the
menus to use the new system, apart from the cheat menus, which are now
disabled. Reorganized the video menu to make it easier to understand.
