We have a python script that parses one of the earlier versions of the c++
hq scaler code (Maarten wrote the script, I did some adjustments). From
the c++ code we extract information out of a big switch statement. That
data is transformed in some way and dumped to these .dat files.

Maarten found a way to calculate (instead of extract) this data. But IIRC
this was only for hq2x yet (not 3x and 4x). And I'm not even sure it was
correct for 2x, Maarten?

We should make the generation of the data files part of the build process,
or at least check in the scripts. Although I'd very much prefer scripts
that don't need the old source code anymore. But I need Maarten's help to
do this (both with build system and scripts).
