Harum coded a little bit initial object system and stuff for SSG, but now
seems a little busy with his new job and apartment. I did small portability
fixes for the client: It should now compile on WIN32, however, it is not
tested. I tried it with Cygwin, but I gave up because the Windows didn't
obey me! Someone with VC++ could do it easily... MacDuff did 8 more textures
and took the "Life and Death" project.

Total 18 people and 15 of them are "active":
  - 33% (5/15) are doing a M1 project
  - 13% (2/15) are doing a M1 project without "no progress"

M1 PROGRESS BAR:

The estimated time of arrival for M1 is: 15-Jul-1999, that means we
are actually exactly two weeks late of our schedule. Hurry up!
