Version 2.50

This release includes Unix Frotz, Dumb Frotz, SDL Frotz, and DOS Frotz.
All have been tested and appear to be working correctly.  With DOS Frotz
in particular, had longstanding problems with integer overflows.  These
are fixed now.  Unix Frotz's audio subsystem was revised by Mark
McCurry.  SDL Frotz finally corrects for adaptive palette images.

Major changes coming up:

* Add compile-time option for paging Zcode from disk instead of reading
  the whole thing into memory.  This will allow for better perfomance on
  low-memory machines.

* Port Frotz to the PDP-10 mainframe and maybe PDP-11.  Contingent on
  disk-paging.

* Create a new GTK3 user interface to resemble the interface of Windows
  Frotz.

* Add language internationalization.

Minor changes coming up:

* Better control over row and column count for the SDL interface.

* Preserve aspect ration when resizing SDL window.
