In many places strings were initialised with strcpy(string, "") right
before the string was overwritten by another function. In the few cases
where this really might have been useful, just use a static initialiser.
The code always tries to overwrite some data files when not using a .pak
file. This is only useful for upstream development. Put #ifdefs around
this code.
All functions and variables are now defined in graphics.cpp.
Before, the functions would be compiled again and again for every source
file, now it is compiled only once, halving the size of the stripped
starfighter binary.
Most .h files were not used to declare the externally visible variables
and functions of the .cpp files, but only to #include things and declare
things that were needed by that .cpp file itself. This resulted in a lot
of duplication.
Now the .h files only declare what is externally visible from the
corresponding .cpp files. Starfighter.h includes all the other .h files,
and all .cpp files only #include "Starfighter.h". Functions and
variables that were not used outside the .cpp file that contained them
were marked static. Variables defined in .h files were moved to the
appropriate .cpp files.
