Details:

Quoting from the manual: "Enable fix for Intel 810 LOD bias problem. Older
versions of libMesa on the Intel i810 or i815 graphics processor need this
flag or Gnash will core dump. This has been fixed in newer versions (summer
2005) of libMesa."

This only affects the ogl renderer, so for someone to need this option, they'd
have to be using modern gnash on a ~8 year old computer with >6 year old
graphics libraries, and then choosing a less-maintained renderer. I think this
is highly unlikely.

The main benefit of removal would be that the option would no longer be there
to confuse people or take up screen space in documentation.

I've attached a patch. I've tested that the patch compiles and runs with the
opengl renderer. It passes the testsuite with the default renderer, but I
didn't find how to run the testsuite with a non-default renderer*. I also have
not regenerated the documentation, so that needs to be done.



* IIRC it would fail some tests anyway due to things not implemented in the
opengl renderer, right?
