ClassifyLine routine or a version compiled with SSE2 optimizations. This
pretty much removes any reason to do a separate SSE2 build, since most of
the time is spent in ClassifyLine, so using SSE2 in just that one function
helps the most.

nodes inserted into it to make a red-black tree worthwhile.
- Added more checks at the start of ClassifyLine so that it has a better chance
of avoiding the more complicated checking, and it seems to have paid off with
a reasonably modest performance boost.

vertices instead of lines.) On large maps, this can result in a very
significant speed up. (In one particular map, ZDBSP had previously
spent 40% of its time just scanning through all the vertices in the
map. Now the time it spends finding vertices is immeasurable. Now 68%
of its time on that map is spent inside ClassifyLine--because that
routine is called more than 16 million times, which suggests that even
a minor speedup in that routine should have a big impact--if I could
just think of how that might happen.) On small maps, this won't make
much of a difference, because the number of vertices to search was so
small to begin with.

the runtime is spent in that function. I should probably write a faster
vertex finding routine, since I currently just do a linear search through
all the vertices. That ought to help speed up SplitSegs, the second most
time-consuming routine. I also tried storing vertices as doubles instead
of fixeds, but that made performance drop across the board, so that's a
change that didn't make it in.
Ironically, the GCC compiled version is noticeably faster than the VC
version for x87 math, but VC produces a marginally faster SSE2 version.

- AddIntersection() should convert to doubles before subtracting the vertex
from the node, not after, to avoid integer overflow. (See cah.wad, MAP12
and MAP13.) A simpler dot product will also suffice for distance calculation.
- Splitters that come too close to a vertex should be avoided. (See cata.wad.)
- Red-Black Tree implementation was broken and colored every node red.
- Moved most of the code for outputting degenerate GL subsectors into another
function.
- Removed forgotten debugging file dump from WriteSSectors2().
- Enabled reference optimization and COMDAT folding in the linker for a slightly
smaller executable.
SVN r155 (trunk)
- MapSideDef.sector was declared signed but treated as unsigned.
- Degenerate (one-dimensional) subsectors could throw away segs when
output for GL nodes depending on the seg ordering.

partially because the background patch has to be drawn always to
overwrite the old display.
- Fixed: Giving a health item to a non-player caused a crash.
- Added a compatibility option to limit deh.MaxHealth to the health bonus.
Originally this value wasn't used for health packs. Doing this was a bug
in Boom but since there's quite a few maps out there which require
Boom's altered behavior it has to be compatibility optioned.
- Fixed: The health bonus's max health must be defined by deh.MaxHealth,
not deh.MaxSoulsphere. To achieve this deh.MaxHealth's handling had to
be altered because it has to default to 100.
- Fixed: ZDBSP created incorrect side references with compressed sidedefs
and both sidedefs of a linedef being the same. This only affects the
external tool because the internal node builder is run after uncompressing
the sidedefs.
- Added Jim's latest makefile.linux.
- Added a consistency check to the PNAMES loader because one crash log
indicated that it crashed due to a corrupt PNAMES lump.
- Brought back the sector based sound target handling as a compatibility
option. This radical change just broke far too many maps that depend
on the original behavior. Strife's special AI functions are excluded
though because they work better with the new method.
