Gosu 0.8.x (preliminary)

• Flesh out tasks below …
• Experimentation: In Ruby, can the window be a singleton and still provide the ability to inherit from it? (Singleton standard class)
• Use float instead of double everywhere
• Redesign (see forum) drawing interface
• Rewrite Gosu::Input with support for multiple gamepads and analog joysticks, serializable button IDs, …
• Windows: Input will regularly query devices which are not currently attached, thereby causing the game to halt every few seconds - think about this
• FSAA/mipmap experiments
• force feedback would be cool
• Provide C++ application templates where possible, maybe even installers for the templates
• much improved text output system, at the VERY least/as a first step, Font shouldn't be forced to be bold
• more alpha modes, yay!
• find a way to factor rot flips out of Gosu => Image/draw redesign
• implement clipping and a target() modifier for the new Image
• speed up LargeImageData?!
• Apple remote support would rule.
• clean up after playing around with possible optimizations
• assure Gosu::File also creates directories as necessary
• more C++ examples
• the window argument in Ruby is annoying, because only one window can be used anyway. Maybe it should be Window.run, and all open Windows should work.
• simplify Gosu's IO philosophy (C++)
• document Gosu's Sockets
