(svn r5946) -Add: merged the TGP branch to mainline. TGP adds:
- New optional landscape generator (TerraGenesis Perlin)
- Load heightmaps (either BMP or PNG)
- Progress dialog while generating worlds (no longer a 'hanging' screen)
- New dialogs for NewGame, Create Scenario and Play Heightmap
- Easier to configure your landscape
- More things to configure (tree-placer, ..)
- Speedup of world generation
- New console command 'restart': restart the map EXACTLY as it was when you
first started it (needs a game made after or with this commit)
- New console command 'getseed': get the seed of your map and share it with
others (of course only works with generated maps)
- Many new, world generation related, things
- Many internal cleanups and rewrites
