Patched up everything so that it compiles without errors again. This only addresses code related to some compile error. A large portion of the angle code still uses angle_t and converts back and forth.
former used fistp, which is not portable across platforms, so cannot be
used in the play simulation. They were only suitable for the renderer.
xs_Float.h also has a very fast float->fixed conversion, so FLOAT2FIXED
uses that now.
(And I also learned that the FPU's round to nearest is not the rounding I
learned in grade school but actually Banker's Rounding. I had no idea.)
(Also, also, the only thing that could have made quickertoint faster than
toint was that it stored a 32-bit int. I never timed them, and I doubt in
practice there was any real difference between the two.)
- Changed atan2f to atan2. Using floats is not a win, because the result is
returned as a double on the x87 stack, which the caller then needs to cast
down to a float using fst/fld.

player sprites will retain the same precision they had when they were
rendered as part of the 3D view. (needed for propery alignment of flashes
on top of weapon sprites) It worked just fine for D3D, but software
rendering was another matter. I consequently did battle with imprecisions
in the whole masked texture drawing routines that had previously been
partially masked by only drawing on whole pixel boundaries. Particularly,
the tops of posts are calculated by multiplying by spryscale, and the
texture mapping coordinates are calculated by multiplying by dc_iscale
(where dc_iscale = 1 / spryscale). Since these are both 16.16 fixed point
values, there is a significant variance. For best results, the drawing
routines should only use one of these values, but that would mean
introducing division into the inner loop. If the division removed the
necessity for the fudge code in R_DrawMaskedColumn(), would it be worth it?
Or would the divide be slower than the fudging? Or would I be better off
doing it like Build and using transparent pixel checks instead, not
bothering with skipping transparent areas? For now, I chop off the
fractional part of the top coordinate for software drawing, since it was
the easiest thing to do (even if it wasn't the most correct thing to do).

* info CCMD to print extended actor information (not fully implemented yet)
* summonmbf CCMD.
* Beta BFG code pointer (but not the related missiles yet.)
* PowerInvisibility enhancements.
* ScoreItem with one significant change: Added a score variable that can be
checked through ACS and DECORATE. The engine itself will do nothing with it.
* Nailgun option for A_Explode.
* A_PrintBold and A_Log.
* A_SetSpecial.
