The way that wastes memory by having 4800 * 16 = 76800bytes of memory
used up
by an un-needed static array of GsBOXF structures is almost certainly
the wrong way
- even if Shiney New Code Segment (tm) isn't the "one true way". In fact
it's all a bit cack
anyway, as 4800 box primitives is a serious waste of GPU time.....oh
well, never mind.
