[Bf-committers] Patch to fix aliasing problems.

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Yep, good description, and I look forward to someone coding it! :)

A potential good solution might be still adding a special buffer for  
this, with actual non(-gamma) corrected original floating point values.  
Here we'll need a plugin interface or something to turn it into regular  
32 bits values.

By default then processing can be still done as it is now.

Hope you can agree with just adding Roberts patch without extra option  
button, and look at it again when someone comes with glow effect code.
