Overview
Provides a mechanism for DrawPixels and ReadPixels to efficiently
transfer depth and stencil image data. Specifically, we defined new
packed pixel formats and types which pack both stencil and depth
into one value.
Issues:
1. Is this the right way to distinguish between 24/8 and 8/24
pixel formats? Should we instead provide both:
GL_DEPTH_STENCIL_MESA
GL_STENCIL_DEPTH_MESA
And perhaps just use GL_UNSIGNED_INT, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT ?
2. If not, is it correct to use _REV to indicate that stencil
preceeds depth in the 1_15 and 8_24 formats?
3. Do we really want the GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT formats?
New Procedures and Functions
None.

One entry is added to table 3.5 (DrawPixels and ReadPixels formats).
The new table is:

COLOR_INDEX Color Color index
STENCIL_INDEX Stencil Stencil index
DEPTH_COMPONENT Depth Depth component
RED Color R component
GREEN Color G component
BLUE Color B component
ALPHA Color A component
RGB Color R, G, B components
RGBA Color R, G, B, A components
BGRA Color B, G, R, A components
ABGR_EXT Color A, B, G, R components
CMYK_EXT Color Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black components
CMYKA_EXT Color Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, A components
LUMINANCE Color Luminance component
LUMINANCE_ALPHA Color Luminance, A components
DEPTH_STENCIL Depth, Depth component, stencil index.

Table 3.5: DrawPixels and ReadPixels formats. The third column
gives a description of and the number and order of elements in a
group.

Additions to Chapter 4 of the 1.1 Specification (Per-Fragment Operations
and the Frame Buffer)
The new format is added to the discussion of Obtaining Pixels from the
Framebuffer. It should read " If the <format> is one of RED, GREEN,
BLUE, ALPHA, RGB, RGBA, ABGR_EXT, LUMINANCE, or LUMINANCE_ALPHA, and
the GL is in color index mode, then the color index is obtained."
The new format is added to the discussion of Index Lookup. It should
read "If <format> is one of RED, GREEN, BLUE, ALPHA, RGB, RGBA,
ABGR_EXT, LUMINANCE, or LUMINANCE_ALPHA, then the index is used to
reference 4 tables of color components: PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_R,
PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_G, PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_B, and PIXEL_MAP_I_TO_A."
