[sldev] Reviving a lost First Look feature - water reflections?

[Dave Parks]

Actually, I've sort of resigned myself to doing actual planar 
reflections for the water instead of the cube map hack (hence the 
removal), so any community patch that puts the cube map hack back in 
will likely be rejected.  This is primarily because the cube map hack 
only works well when the eye is near the water, and doing an actual 
planar reflection would be faster (requires one extra full render 
instead of 6), and would work for all viewing angles.
