The problem is that there is no way to do an automatic detection of a
graphic driver, not that the class hierarchy / design is done properly.

You will always have to change something in the code somewhere to
differentiate a pure-X from a pure-SDL or a pure-DreamCast build (except if
you do .so magic with dynamically loaded drivers).

This means that _AUTO should be removed and each 'porter' should release a
binary with the _gfx_driver set to its proper value on the build.
