Changes

new bullet images
added right-ctrl and right-shift as alternate firing keys.
updated most of the sprite images and the intro, I'm playing with materials in blender.
changed loading and ready images to alpha blended. they look much better now.

switched the code to use png's instead of bmp's.
removed net code for win32 cross compile
add misc SDL libs on the front of the lib path (for win32)
fixed configure to check for SDL before SDL_mixer.
added net subdirectory containing a client and server for cyclone. This code will need to be ported to other platforms, and integrated with the main cyclone app.
apparently, under windows you need to deal with events before showing the window will work. Now the intro screen has the init code inside the event loop.
oops. the radar was accidentally mirrored. fixed.

move image/sound loading into the intro, and display "loading" message.
added screenshot key. "S"
fixed a bug in the collision check.
recentered the image of the player ship. it was a little off.
the drones now wander aimlessly when they are not close to the player.
vast improvement on the radar drawing speed. This added several points to the frame rate. Thanks to Sam Langinga for pointing out how bad the old code was!

reduced the turn rate for kamikaze drones. the game is now a litte easier, so I really need to add the new enemy type.
updated the README to reflect the fact that you need to run "make install" before the game will work now.
moved some functions that are called VERY frequently into the header file as inlines.
added impact sounds for enemy ships colliding with player
only create shrapnel when colliding, if enemies are shot, the explode. (need to add a visual explosion effect)
removed surface leak in initialization code.
enable RLEACCEL for numbers.
minor code cleanups
updated some sound effects
improved the drone sprites. updated the intro screen.
added "effects". the first one is shrapnel when a drone explodes.
fixed bug: if you quit or die while playing, then start a new game, it adds 200 enemies, rather than setting the total to 200.

fixed a bug in the sound code that was causing an Illegal Operation in windows98 when the game exits.

added cheesy sound effects
several internal code cleanups
the default enemy is now a kamikaze drone. when it gets within 300 pixels of the player, it turns toward the ship.
reduced the enemy count since the kamikaze thing makes it MUCH harder
increased the range of the radar
fixed display of ship health (it was only going 1/2 way up)

added an intro screen
when the player loses all ships, the game goes back to the intro
added a radar
moved object functions into a seperate ObjectType structure.
added a damage system. by default objects have 100 hitpoints. bullets to damage that is exponentially less as they get older. missiles to constant damage.
added a number of reserve ships for the player. They aren't used yet, but are show on the screen.
gave the ship 500 hitpoints, and when it is killed it decrements the reserve ship count.
display the ship health on-screen
hide the mouse cursor
added missing acinclude.m4
removed AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL since it's not used (yet)
