Gregory Hainaut 88a714327a linux-zzogl: don't build anymore zzogl by default
Sadly, no time to maintain it neither to improve it.

Note: I think new openGL 4.x feature would make the plugin faster

Anyway, now GSdx-ogl is probably better than zzogl

------------------------------
Package information for PCSX2
------------------------------
* The reasons given by upstream as to why they remove -fPIC are the following:
- Code only supports the i386 architecture.
- Code uses the ebx register and this is not compliant with -fPIC.
- The use of -fPIC negatively impacts the performance of the program.
- The .so file are not shared libraries but plug-ins. No program should try
to link with them.
------------------------------------------
Information about the plug-ins for video
------------------------------------------
* GSdx plug-in currently require a video card that supports
at least OpenGL 3.3. A noninclusive list of cards that support OpenGL 3.0 is:
- Radeon HD series (except HD2300)
- GeForce 8, 9, 100-series, 200-series, 300-series, 400-series and 500-series
- Intel Sandy Bridge HD Graphics 2000 and up
* Currently the proprietary drivers for AMD and Nvidia have support for
OpenGL 3.0 and above. GSdx plug-in use the following
extensions/commands that may or may not be completely implemented in the
open source video stack:
- OpenGL 3.x (supported on Mesa 10.x)
- OpenGL 4.0
+ GL_ARB_GPU_shader5 (improve FXAA, optional)
- OpenGL 4.1
+ GL_ARB_separate_shader_objects
- OpenGL 4.2
+ GL_ARB_map_buffer_alignment
+ GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store
+ GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack
+ GL_ARB_texture_storage
- OpenGL 4.3
+ GL_ARB_explicit_uniform_location
+ GL_ARB_framebuffer_no_attachments
+ GL_ARB_copy_image (optional)
- OpenGL 4.4
+ GL_ARB_buffer_storage
- OpenGL 4.5
+ GL_ARB_clip_control
+ GL_ARB_direct_state_access
+ GL_ARB_texture_barrier
