* Replaced drawSurfs qsort algorithm with a radix sort

+ Performance is comparable, although generally slightly
    worse, but...
  + Radix is a stable sort algorithm, so overlapping
    coplanar drawSurfs (i.e. with the same sort key) no
    longer flicker indeterminately
  + Also removes the dubious comment: "FIXME: this was 
    lifted and modified from the microsoft lib source..."
