Floating Next Pieces

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a sweet visual aid, and a must for anyone concerned about speed. I
have added to the logic for the next 3 pieces so that they
"float" above the shadow of the current piece. This avoids having
to look all the way up to the top of the screen to find out what's coming up.

Features with this change:

- If you have shadows turned on, the next three pieces appear immediately
above the shadow, with the next piece being the lowest piece.

To do:

- I'd prefer this to be an option, as it would take some getting used to
right off the bat. However, the player setup screen is lacking in
tweakability, and without major changes to the setup interface, I really
can't add to it.

- When/if I have time, I'd like to have it so that the next pieces don't
disappear until the next block shows up. Right now, as soon as the block is
placed, the next pieces disappear, which seemed a little disorienting to
have nothing there when I got recursive lines.

This is a nice add on.  The patch from roncli's site (Quadra3.zip) contains full
files from an older version.  The attached file is just that converted to a 
diff that
only contains the relevant changes and applies cleanly to current sources (rev 
447,
tested on linux only).

Thanks, roncli!

I'd really like to put this in, but I think we should untangle the mess in the 
option
screen first, and make it an option.
