Completely fixed the shadow clipping and got the fix for the missing
shadow for free. Apparently, it must have been rendered somewhere,
just not at the location where the character was standing.

on some of the optimisations first.

P.S.: Also fixed a number of issues with the SDL 1.3 code. Works on
both ppc and x86 now, provided that the latest SDL snapshot is used.
