(I setup follow-up to rgrd)

As promised, here comes T-Engine4 & ToME4 beta 2!
Check out http://blog.te4.org/ http://tome.te4.org/ and http://te4.org/

This releases fixes many little bugs, and some major ones, re-balances
some things here and there, improves the interface and CPU usage.

It also come with a very dirty example module which is much much smaller
than ToME that people can use as a base for their own modules.

The current endgame moved a bit with the addition of Moria but not much
further, in the next few betas I will implement a good part of the missing
zones for levels 20-50.

And this time, OSX binaries are available!

List of changes in no particular order:

* try to stop passage of time after death
* menu for sound & music disabling
* allow window to dynamic resize
* do not destroy objects when not able to equip them
* A* algorithm (engine.Astar)
* game pauses when it looses focus, no CPU used when paused
* modules can return true from their tick() to pause the ticking until the next SDL event, reducing CPU usage draastically
* mouse-right-click will now make the player either:
* - run to the clicked spot if a path can be found
* - run in the direct if no path is found
* - move one turn in the direction if hostiles are present or if the clicked spot is adjacent
* MiniMap ! default keybind: TAB
* move lua lane keeper to a lua file, to avoid 64bits problems
