Build system fix: Now compiles on linux mint/ubuntu again

This release adds several string functions, md5 and sha1 hashes and a new command line tool named sgestate, which creates a c++ wrapper for sge2d states.

sge2d 0.9.0 is the first stable release of the SDL game engine.

The new release features build support for AROS and MacOSX and provides complete API docs in HTML.

The current development is now taking place via subversion, please check out this version if you have checked out the cvs version.

cvs will be removed once we can do a final check that there has been no changes since the sourceforge incident.

sge2d is now under active development again.

This release adds several new features and some bugfixes:

- Multiple animations per sprite
- A* pathfinding

Another new snapshot.

This release contains a critical bugfix, which makes sga usable for building data files under windows.

Other features:

* bitmap fonts
* sgeGetPixel()
* Auto arrays can free elements by themself
* more demos

The new features are:

* Game States
* Walkpoints for sprites
* New drawing functions: sgeDrawPixel, sgeDrawLine
* Open2x support
* Syllable support

Through game states you can split your game into logical units, like main menu, game loop, load screen, etc. and easy switch between them

Walkpoints allow you to give a list of coordinates to a sprite, which it will automatically walk through at a speed you give it.
