Updated the README, BUILD.*, and AUTHORS files.

The main change in BUILD.unix and BUILD.win32 is that R13B is now required. Also changed the version numbers in all examples to wings-1.0. One important developer was completely missing from the AUTHORS files. Also put all the credits for the translations in a separate section and added all translators that I could find in the NOTES file.
