[Bf-committers] Alpha faces: Kester?

[Kester Maddock]

Hi Alexander,

This is only for the game engine, and is only activated when "ZTransp" is 
enabled in the materials.  Also, if the polygons intersect, they won't be 
sorted correctly (this is impossible without splitting the polygons.)

Also, all transparent objects are depth sorted at the object level.  It is 
sorted by the object's centre point, which can be tweaked to get the correct 
sort order.  Overlapping objects won't sort correctly in all cases (this is 
impossible without splitting the objects).
