Cool :)  In m y day job I mostly work in Java now so my C++ gets a  
bit of influence from that nowadays..

Perhaps having an enum on Texture which we can add these as "flags"?   
That way we can have a unified "base" which returns something like  
"not implemented" for things like VQ/twiddle and then on the DC port  
we can override this with a proper implementation.

Another thing to consider could be usage of exceptions within Tiki?
