New 3Dc demo

Take a look at the "DXTC Nightmare" for some real emphasis on the colour limitation (like Epic says, though, it is a truly unfair scenario).

Word of warning to those reading "avoid DXT1"in that page. That only applies to old Nvidia HW that had a broken DXT1 decompressor. All other manufacturers' systems (and recent NV systems) have perfectly good decompressors.

Using DXTn (n>1) for opaque textures is a waste of bandwidth.


/me makes note to copy some of those textures to the PVR-TC test suite...
