This will require some comparisons on older hardware. On my Geforce 1060 rendering the full plane with one draw call is clearly faster in all cases I tested.
At least on faster NVidia hardware, setting this to false and gl_finishbeforeswap to true gives a better experience because it reduces screen tearing - but the same setting will reduce frame rate quite dramatically on Intel and can cause bad stalls on some older GPUs when rendering camera textures.
On a fast and modern graphics card this is a lot faster than doing it per subsector but it may not be without drawbacks on older hardware so it will require some testing on older hardware.
For me Frozen Time's view over the bridge went from 46 fps to 51 fps with this change, the time saved was roughly 2 ms.

I did not consider that this is an init-only option. So changing the CVAR may not affect game behavior at all. Instead its value must be moved to some globally accessible variable on startup that never gets changed again.
- made the vid_scaleto____ commands less hacky - after finding out I could route the calls through screen->, found the correct screen-> commands, and do scaling based on the real screen dimensions
Game code should never ever call the renderer directly. This must be done through the video interface so that it can also work with other framebuffers later.
These files are not part of the actual renderer but part of the system code.
This means, for separated modern and legacy GL renderers, there still will only be one set of this, unlike everything else.
(concatenated "UMSH" signature + datafile + anivfile)
This is pretty much 100% functional by now.
Hasn't been tested on platforms other than Linux yet, though.
Code definitely deserves some cleaning.
At least one version of Windows SDK (10.0.17134.0) has broken _pgmptr/_get_pgmptr()
It points to an empty string for multi-byte character set applications
GetModuleFileName() is now used instead regardless of compiler/toolchain
Added extra guard against unexpected program paths to avoid crashes
