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?

	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."
