Sebastian Lackner 299a2daeac Added patch to revert pixelformat changes (caused regression for many apps). 
Well, usually we don't revert Wine commits in this branch. In this case the original author of the
patches suggested to revert them, because its unfinished and the rest of the patches will not be
accepted anymore in the near future. Without the complete patchset it causes a lot of side effects
(flickering, black/grey screen, missing video). This makes Wine basically useless for all affected
apps. Since the revert was not accepted upstream, we do it in our branch, until either the problems
are gone, or the revert got accepted.

What is Wine-Compholio?
=======================
**Warning: Do not report bugs at bugs.winehq.org when using this version!
Please take a look at our
[Wiki](https://github.com/compholio/wine-compholio/wiki/Reporting-bugs)
for more information about how to report bugs.**
The **Wine "Compholio" Edition** is a special build of the popular Wine
software that includes both patches written by our team and selected patches
by third party developers that we consider good enough for inclusion. This can
be seen as a testing version in preparation for patches to be submitted to
upstream Wine - don't be surprised if you encounter additional bugs, which are
not present in regular wine, and always report such issues to us (via github!),
so we can improve our fixes even further. Thanks!
How to install and use Wine-Compholio
=====================================
Ready-to-use packages for Wine-Compholio are available for a variety
of different Linux distributions directly for download. Just follow the
instructions available on the
[Wiki](https://github.com/compholio/wine-compholio/wiki/Installation).
When using Wine-Compholio there are a few differences compared to regular
Wine. The main difference is that it is not sufficient to type `wine` to
run it, but instead you will have to type `/opt/wine-compholio/bin/wine`.
Besides that there are also some other differences, for example additional
configuration options to tweak performance, which are not available in regular
Wine. All those differences are also documented on the
[Wiki](https://github.com/compholio/wine-compholio/wiki/Usage).
