Fixes#3
At first I just went in to fix some places that were missing gettext
translations, but on the way as I was doing that, I noticed some
places where ngettext should be used, a bug in the fallback legacy
text rendering, and some things that could be structured better in
the Autoconf / Automake setup. Fixed those.
No, really, just added the whole thing. This took literally the
entire day. I'm soooo glad it's working now!
Also includes tons of other small fixes I didn't bother to keep
track of.
Limits the damage you take somewhat. Basically, this is intended
to prevent sudden deaths; if it doesn't look like you're dying,
you probably won't suddenly get axed. Of course, this is disabled
in Classic difficulty.
At first I was going to just not bother with the resizing thing, but
then I found out that SDL actually has a scaling function built-in.
So rather than depending on SDL_gfx for this one purpose that never
sees the light of day in practice, I have handed that job over to
that function.
In particular, sizes larger than the background work properly now
(in general; there are of course some things positioned badly still,
but everything updates correctly at any rate).
It's not perfect, but I honestly just can't be arsed to figure out
how to use the Windows API to do the same thing that pwd.h does.
At the very least, Starfighter can now be successfully compiled for
Windows with MinGW simply by defining the "SF_WINDOWS" environment
variable to 1 (or any other non-empty value). The only downside is
that it uses the current working directory to decide where
.config/starfighter should go, meaning it can't be installed into
restricted directories like Program Files.
