gfx/util/texpacker, a script which generates .mipzip files from image files.

That would be great. Automated buildbot tests on GF3 *and* radeon would
be better

BTW: two Radeon 9500's are on order.

At the moment, still a bit vague. I keep thinking whether we want to split
different features or just have some composite score.

The things we have that others don't do so much are

        - constant loading / unloading of textures
        - huge textures
        - text: lots of alpha-blended small polygons, high resolution &c
        - lots of small primitives
        - lots of small display lists

The things we don't do that most others do:

        - large static models
        - lighting
        - sync-to-vblank and full-screen (but we're going to)
