- 8.2b devel release

  - fix bug that prevented timed effects from being triggered for
    delayms (if specified in the soundrc file) after the game started.

  - disable allocation of a depth buffer.  We aren't using it,
    so... Might help those with 16bpp displays.

  - added sound effect for torp alerts.

  - fixed up configure so that it won't barf if sdl-config or other
    SDL checks fail.  If that happens, sound support will just be
    disabled.

    Also fixed some problems that prevented the GL client from being
    built when sound support was not available.  Sorry about that.

     properly.

   - based on 'mag factor' idea from Cat, implemented zoom in/out in
     both SR and LR views.  There are 5 levels of zoom out and zoom in.
     You can zoom in/out with the '[' and ']' keys.  ^L resets the view
