I think while we're cleaning up things, all of software shaders should 
be removed.

There's tons of code in drawprim and *shader.c, which is disabled, 
doesn't work, and isn't on the right track if you ask me. None of the 
changes to make the shader parser 3.0 compliant are used in the disabled 
paths. There's even an "Emulation" value in winecfg which just confuses 
the user, since it doesn't work.

I did have a working implementation of software shaders some time ago, 
which broke things up into functions, and shared the tracing and parser 
with hardware shaders - but in the end it was too slow, and I abandoned 
it as the wrong approach too. Unless we generate asm on the fly for the 
shader or something like that, I don't think software shaders will be 
made to work soon.
