I am finding that alpha blending is not working when in 32 bpp mode,
both in an X with native bpp 16, and on the console with svgalib.
Specifically, things seem to be drawn as if the alpha channel were set
to 0xff.

I just tried setting
#define ORIGINAL_ALPHA_PIXEL_ROUTINE
in SDL_gfxPrimitives.c. This seems to make the problem go away. So I
guess it's a bug/oddity in the new 32bpp alpha mixing code?

BTW, I forgot to say that this is all relating to 2.0.17.
