Changes since speedhack 2002 original:

22-06-2005: added some compile fixes so everything should build with
        recent versions of gcc again. Thanks to Cavin Greer for pointing
        this out! The game had collected a lot of dust ...

21-05-2002: finished attack waves and some tuning of explosions. Added sound!

11-05-2002: added explosions for some visual feedback when
        shooting. Sound to follow soon, I promise :-) Made a general
        system for moving messages, only the 'game over' message uses
        it for now. Started on the attack wave / level system. Added
        a fps counter.

13-04-2002: added radar and a health bar. fixed a bug in the chopper
	targetting code. Choppers are hard to hit still, but that's
	how it's supposed to be.
