This improves refractions around entities close to the surface, such as
fishes, by handling depth better and by clipping the water plane a
little lower.
This uses the skybox for reflections when refractions are enabled but
reflections are disabled, making it possible to play with reflections
disabled without having super-ugly water (arguably a performance
improvement).

Without this, some code will enable (and set other parameters for)
whatever random texture unit the previous stage had selected. This can
break any fixed-function rendering, since either it will not have
enabled the correct texture unit, or its correct setup will be
interfered with by another texture unit that shouldn't be enabled. (This
doesn't affect ARB/GLSL shader rendering, since they don't care about
the enabled state, but the GUI (and some debug things) are still FFP in
the default ARB mode.)
Fixes#2833 (in which the fancy water shader selected texture units 5/6,
which then got enabled, and remained enabled forever).

Change the shader itself so that the effects look nicer and are more
consistent across settings.
Rework the water mesh generation (simpler system). Fix a few issues.
May work oddly with Atlas since I haven't been able to compile yet.

Fix a long-standing typo in TerrainRenderer for water rendering that
apparently had no effect.
Don't compress the water textures to make it look better. They will be
changed anyhow.
This was SVN commit r15461.
Previously we had a single culling frustum based on the main camera, and
any object outside the frustum would never get rendered, even if it
should actually contribute to shadows or reflections/refractions. This
caused ugly pop-in effects in the shadows and reflections while
scrolling.
Extend the renderer to support multiple cull groups, each with a
separate frustum and with separate lists of submitted objects, so that
shadows and reflections will render the correctly culled sets of
objects.
Update the shadow map generation to compute the (hopefully) correct
bounds and matrices for this new scheme.
Include terrain patches in the shadow bounds, so hills can cast shadows
correctly.
Remove the code that tried to render objects slightly outside the camera
frustum in order to reduce the pop-in effect, since that was a
workaround for the lack of a proper fix.
Remove the model/patch filtering code, which was used to cull objects
that were in the normal camera frustum but should be excluded from
reflections/refractions, since that's redundant now too.
Inline DistanceToPlane to save a few hundred usecs per frame inside
CCmpUnitRenderer::RenderSubmit.
Fixes#504, #579.
This was SVN commit r15445.
Remove waves for now as they were unsatisfactory.
Removes "shininess" as a water parameter as it was basically useless.
Add a button in Atlas to recompute water parameters so you can now see
fog in Atlas.

Replace unifont with CFont and CFontManager, since the h_mgr interface
was
needlessly inconvenient.
Load the font textures through CTextureManager, to support dynamic
reloading (e.g. when resetting GL state - see #741).
Add CFontMetrics as a convenient wrapper for code that just wants to
measure text.
