Software support for rift...

One reason the image is distorted at render time (in the shader) is so more pixel info is present around the center of the image where the eyes will do most of the 'looking'. Simply distorting a 1:1 pixel image with the box and correcting it back with lenses would deliver worse image quality (in terms of image data) in the center than doing it in the shader.
