As I explained in the other mail, atifs uses a complete fragment shader
object, as opposed to nvrc/nvts and arb combiners, which configure single
stages. This requires different state linking. So to implement that
efficiently I need at least a different state table which links all fixed
function states together, instead of one that links colorop settings and
alphaop settings per stage.
Also if we ever implement pixel shaders using atifs we'll need a shader
backend for it.
