ALURE update

I updated ALURE's source download:
http://kcat.strangesoft.net/alure-src.tar.bz2

This fixes a bug with alureFreeDeviceNames calling free() on a pointer that
was new'd (darn last-minute changes). It also has some more general fixes,
cleanups, and restructuring, though the API is still the same. The alure.h
comments were also updated with clarifications. As well, I added a COPYING
file, placing the lib under the LGPL.

New is MP3 support with libmpg123. SndFile, VorbisFile, and mpg123 are all
completely optional, however there is still no replacement .wav reader if
SndFile support is unavailable. All three libs can also be dynamicly loaded
at runtime, instead of being hard dependancies.

I'll probably get a project page and GIT repo up soon, but I'm still
interested in any comments or questions. :)

Sounds cool!

I've got code for a simple .wav loader if you want it, though it
probably needs some work to be generally useful (right now, it's part of
a class hierarchy).

It shouldn't be a problem to write one up. It's just a question of what's an
efficient way to do it without making a lot of code duplication.

I've updated ALURE again. This time it has a basic built-in wav reader, and
CMakeLists.txt should be more friendly towards MSVC and other systems
(however they're still untested).

There's also a project page up:
http://kcat.strangesoft.net/alure.html
