-IMPORTANT: OpenMW 0.4 notes
-===========================
-
-As of OpenMW 0.4, we have switched sound libraries from Audiere to
-OpenAL + libavcodec. This means that:
-
-- you need to install OpenAL
-- you must install libavcodec / ffmpeg for mp3 playback
-- you no longer need Audiere
-
-See the changelog at the end for an up-to-date list of changes.
-
-Also new in this release is the way files are distributed for
-Windows. There is now a separate "DLL pack" that can be used with
-either the binary version or the source version. You no longer need to
-run around the internet to find various SDKs and such - everything
-should be included in the DLL-pack, including the necessary C/C++
-header files.

-Note: if you are using a localized (non-English) version of Morrowind,
-the default starting cell (Assu) might not exist. Try esmtool (see
-below) to get a list of existing cells.

-On the near-future TODO list:
-===========================
-
-- full support for localized versions (with character recoding)
-- support for Mac
-- collision detection + walk & fall physics
-- displaying creatures correcty, animation
-- rendering NPCs
-- rendering outdoor scenes (exterior cells)
-- choosing a GUI/HUD system that plays well with OGRE
