svn compilation on windows 7 - openal and vorbisfile prereqs

[Freddybear]

Not exactly sure what svn level these showed up, but at svn 3768 for sure, you'll need to install OpenAL and ogg/vorbis support in MinGW to compile t-engine.

libogg and libvorbis are available here: http://xiph.org/downloads/
unpack them and run the usual ./configure --prefix=/usr/local; make; make install steps.
libogg first, then libvorbis.

OpenAL is available from: http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/ ... -1.13.tbz2
You'll need CMAKE to compile openal.
cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles", then make and make install.
I didn't set the /usr/local prefix for cmake so I had to manually copy the include, lib and dll files to my MSYS directories.

finally, you'll need to edit the premake script for te4core. Here is a diff for that:

Ah good thanks, saving me the trouble of figuring it out myself !
