* Improved the security checks for ExchangeArtifact and SetArtifact, but have also come to realize that SetArtifact is inherently broken and can be used for cheating. :(
* Preliminary work for combination artifacts, it's now possible to identify artifacts that are combined and what they're made up of.
* Happy New Year!
* CDefHandler::openFromMemory DOES NOT WORK! It seems to be design error, not windows specific.
Note: please write more C++-like code (declarations don't have to be in the beginning of block of code, use C++-style casts, follow our naming convention for structs / classes, don't write struct before structure's name etc.)
Fixed a file handle leak.
Bumped revision to 0.74b (linux).
Reworked the build system to remove uneeded dependencies (linux).
Removed use of PATHSEPARATOR since Windows can use / too.

* partial implementation of berserk spell (unit does not always attack the nearest creature, wrong handling of situation when nearest stack is too far)
* ballista can shoot (it was considered to be always blocked instead of always free)
* Fixed Angelic Alliance to the right factions.
* Added functions to determine good/evil status of a unit/faction. Was going to use it for both Evil Fog/Holy Ground and Angelic Alliance, but turned out the latter was a bit special. Could still be useful in the future with additional towns. CCreatureHandler seemed to be the best place for it.
* r-click popups on selected town/hero.bonus and teams in pregame
* disabled music due to bugs in SDL_mixer and smpeg (probably it was the source of reported random crashes / hangups)

2. Improved functions handling experience. Now it works with values over 65K, but still didn't with event giving 99M exp
I have no idea what it has to do with AI though
2.Partially done support for creature banks. ToDo: load config file, start battle with surrounding enemies
3.Attempt to increase hero exp capacity. You may ignore it at the moment.

* restructures creature ability preparing (creature abilities are now loaded from cr_abils.txt file). It needs further work - all changes in abilities should be moved from CCreatureHandler.cpp to cr_abils.txt as it's done in this commit (I hope it's clear how it should be done as there is an example)
