Description ensiform 2009-09-24 19:07:54 EDT 
This basically just removes the window manager border from the game's window using SDL_NOFRAME if the varaible is true.

com_noborder (defaults to 0).  Must be changed before GLimp_Init or else it wont be detected as changed.

This is handy for sticking the game window on 1 monitor at noborder + max resolution and then other windows on your other monitor without dealing with any messy fullscreen alt-tab screw-ups.

I have only tested this on my normal windowed mode res which is smaller than my desktop res on my windows build.  So I was not able to test if the window shows up above the taskbar/superbar or below it.

If anyone wishes to test out this patch and or make additions to it feel free to do so.

NOTE: makes use of the SDL env vars to center screen. Is this supported across most SDL versions on at least general Linux/Win32/OSX builds?

Could probably remove the check for noboder when centering screen and just always do it.

I didn't apply the patch as is, but your wish should still have been granted in r1728
