The early Voodoos also had the 1:8 max width/height ratio.  I think using
the OpenGL-queried values is OK, although the "proper" way of doing it may
be to use proxy textures and check to see if the given width/height is
valid.

I tried not forcing square textures, but that seemed to only mess up the
menu graphics, so there's something wrong with the bitmap section code...
