- d_type in dirent does not exist, stat is needed to get the entry type - libdl does not exist (included in libroot) - functions _fseek and _ftell exist in Haiku libroot and conflict with div
The main loops are constantly running and using a lot of CPU for nothing. This implements a simple idling algorithm: - If there are no user inputs, and - Nothing already asked to wait for retrace, Then it should be okay to sleep for 10ms (not more, because DIV timers are based on a 10ms system clock). This may not be perfect: adding "something_happened = 1" in more places may be needed. But at least DIV runs without my laptop fans spinning like crazy now.
- Fix crash if there are more than 32 video modes - The sorting function didn't work right for me, rewrite it - Remove memory allocation that's not really needed

Hello!
I wanted to run DIV on Haiku for some time now. This merge request includes the few fixes needed as well as a patch to reduce CPU use. Let me know what you think of it.
Thanks for keeping DIV alive! I didn't get any publishable games out of it back in the 2000s, but I should certainly give it a try again!
