Apparently this is the result of some sloppiness during 2.5 project and since then it confused people who were trying to understand the area-region relation (myself included).
Sorry if this causes merge conflicts for anyone, but at some point we really had to do it :/
In gpu lib:
- GPU_glsl_support() always returns true
- internal cleanup & comments
Outside gpu lib:
- remove check from various code, remove the “else” path
- sprinkled a few C99-isms
We can remove GPU_glsl_support() when BGE stops calling it.
- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
Was intended to be disabled in rBa3b86611a8182, but disabled 3D View FPS drawing instead of VSE drawing. Triple checked but 3D View doesn't draw FPS now, so everything seems fine now.
Note: To recreate this you had to play animation once before scrubbing.
With this patch "Particle Info" node from Cycles works in GLSL and BI

Reviewers: psy-fi
Note: moved particle info to object render instance instead of
shadeinput during review - Antony.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D1313
Convert buffer to index in one loop,
also minor cleanup to backbuf/selection functions.
- Use IMB_rectcpy instead of inline pixel copy.
- Redundant WM_framebuffer_to_index call.
Was changed to draw after meshes without depth mask to make grid not
contribute to compositing effects. Now only draw it like this when we do
compositing (unfortunately can't have both).
Generalize logic for vert/edge/face selection:
- index cycling.
- selection bias with mixed modes.
Details:
- Edges now support index cycling (as verts/faces did already)
- Cycling over near elements is now only enabled when the mouse position remains the same.
- No longer do 2 selection passes to perform index cycling.
Fixes:
- Edges behind the view could be selected (surprising nobody reported!)
- Selection bias now only changes the element that gets picked without interning the return distance
(was buggy with mixed modes).
When mixing vert/edge/face with select-visible,
face selection could fail when not close enough to the center.
This also fixes a bug where the bias for verts over edges would
prefer faces over edges too, making edges harder to pick.
Mixing edge with other selection modes works more predictably now.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

A nice bug combining all the broken features of blender:
Particles, duplis and multiple scene dependencies.
Fortunately this was solvable: Basically, we need to
make sure derivedmesh for dupli instance is generated before
obmat is overriden. This also makes sense, since no instance
has "true" obmat apart from original. Lazy initialization of
derivedmesh just does not work here (or it -does- work but first
use should be before instance drawing).
Fingers crossed nothing else breaks after this...
