[GNE]GNE 0.55 Tutorials

[Gillius <gi...@ma...>]

GNE developers/users and EGSTank developers:

This is addressed to both lists, even though you don't know each other ;).  
I thought I'd hit 2 birds with one stone.

Hmm I just spent the last three and a half solid hours finishing up this 
tutorial.  Lots of people have been complaining that GNE is too hard to use 
so I wrote up this tutorial.

Note that this is for the next version of GNE which isn't released as we 
are still working out compile bugs in mingw for Windows, and with HawkNL in 
Linux (fixed, but waiting for release of HawkNL 1.6b5 or final).  Almost 
all of it is still directly applicable to GNE 0.45 though anyways.

I've really late now and my eyes hurt, so it's not proofed, and I may have 
made some lame mistakes towards the end ;).

GNE developers - please provide feedback.  Also EGS developers who might 
work on networking code will want to read this.

I hope to have a very clean GNE 0.55 release which will mark the completion 
of the mid-level API.  With this new tutorial and the interactive 
installers for MSVC6, MSVC.NET, and mingw I hope the library will move into 
it's actual "useful" phase rather than it's current phase of "lots of kick 
ass code that no one but Gillius can figure out."
