- optimized the math to get a plane equation from a linedef. The original code used a generic algorithm that knew nothing about the fact that Doom walls are always perfectly vertical. With this knowledge the plane calculation can be reduced to a lot less code because retrieving the normal is trivial in this special case.
- use the SSE2 rsqrtss instruction to calculate a wall's length, because this is by far the most frequent use of square roots in the GL renderer. So far this is only active on x64, it may be activated on 32 bit later as well, but only after it has been decided if 32 bit builds should be x87 or SSE2.

Since the true color software renderer also handles them there is no point keeping them on the GL side.
This also optimized how they are stored, because we no longer need to be aware of a base engine which doesn't have them.
- removed the LastCamera logic in RenderView. This code predates the first GZDoom release and apparently was only added because back then R_SetupFrame was not fully compatible with the hardware renderer. Today it is not needed anymore.
(Is there anyway to tone down GCC's warning level? It outputs too many false positives for potentially uninitialized variables in which the genuine errors get drowned.)
- enable precompiled headers for all non-system-specific MIDI devices.
- moved the native Windows and Mac MIDI devices into their respective sections in the project file so that they won't get compiled on the other ones.
This one was particularly nasty because Windows also defines a DWORD, but in Windows it is an unsigned long, not an unsigned int so changing types caused type conflicts and not all could be removed.
Those referring to the Windows type have to be kept, fortunately they are mostly in the Win32 directory, with a handful of exceptions elsewhere.
A major part of this device's implementation details about how to handle the callback were not encapsulated by the device class at all, they were #ifdef'd into the streamer class.
This puts everything into the device class which now exposes a clean interface to the rest of the game with no special handling aside from calling two additional virtual functions that are empty for the other devices
