Improvements:

   * use Eina_File mmap for bmp, ico, pmaps, psd, wbmp and xpm file access.
   * textblock br and tab tags now default for newline and tab.
   * extended pixman routine support for most software rendering routines.
   * added tiled rotator for 32bit displays (faster).
   * work around nvidia driver spin-using-cpu and don't use glXWaitGL()
