Yeah, that should be a settable flag.  But we should then support
flatshade_first somewhere else.

The GL rule is last vertex last for each primitive.  The D3D rule is first
vertex first.  My idea is to have draw_decompose_tmp.h use a local variable,
last_vertex_last, to select the rules.  In draw_gs_tmp.h and
draw_so_emit_tmp.h, last_vertex_last is TRUE when the new settable flags is
TRUE.  However, in draw_pt_decompse.h, where the rules no longer matter,
last_vertex_last is set to !(flatshade && flatshade_first).

As for draw_pt_vcache_tmp.h, I am considering removing it and make vcache look
more like varray except with index buffer buffer.  I will try to work
out the idea soon.

For clipping?
