Current status:
- You need data files to run this.  You can use the Freespace 2 demo or
install the full game with wine.  If your commercial version of Freespace 2
is not the Game of the Year edition, you'll need to update to the latest
patch before copying the data files over.

- It currently uses SDL (http://www.libsdl.org) and OpenAL
(http://opensource.creative.com)

- The OpenGL code is complete minus one or two things, but it is unoptimized.

- Keyboard, mouse, and joystick work.

- Lots of debug messages.  Recompile with NDEBUG defined to get rid of them.

- The build currently defaults to the full version.  To build the demo
version, edit the Makefile by changing the DEMO flag from "false" to "true".
Mods, etc. have not been tested.

- Networking (TCP) seems to work OK.  Linux<->Linux works great, Lin<->Win
tested a little (with Linux client acting as the server, Windows server may
cause problems with filenames and transferred files).

- Sound code is only partially implemented.

- Currently all files (*.vp) need to be in the current working directory.

- The Windows version might still compile, but wasn't tested.  (The
Linux-specific code is separated by a PLAT_UNIX define).  Fred2, etc., were
not touched.

- This code builds on MacOS X. Get the latest toolchain from Apple. Flip the
MACOSX flag in the Makefile to "true" and run "make" from a terminal in the
root of the source directory. Note that the game compiles and links, but will
NOT run at this time, due to byte ordering bugs in the source.
