Breaking: the plugins' weapon sprite is gone. The Missile Repeater art in
ConEx and ConEx Override is not Paul Richeson's, so the pack no longer carries
it:

• removed conex/weapons/ and override/weapons/, and the pictures of the
  weapon from pictures/ (ConEx 1.2: PICT 210, 211; ConEx Override: 1108, 1109,
  6076, 6077)
• in its place, weapons/missile-repeater/: a stand-in missile for testing,
  a plain 16×16 line drawn by tools/build_pack.py, turned 10° per frame, with
  sheet, mask and alpha sheet in the ships' layout. catalog.json lists it
  under a top-level weapons; loadWeapon(slug, base) loads it, and the 1.0
  form loadWeapon(edition, slug, base) still works

New: the konex edition. Two more ships by Paul Richeson, Advisor and
Citrus, which first flew in konex (2005) and were never in a plugin:

• konex/ships/advisor/, konex/ships/citrus/: 36 RGBA frames (konex's 64×64
  textures, the plugins' rotation order), sheet, mask, sheet with alpha,
  target, shipyard and comm pictures, and ship.json with konex's own stats
• sources/konex/: konex's original TGA files and specs.xml, rehosted from
  yodacon/konex (CVS revision 1.3, 9 August 2005), so the pack still builds
  from sources/ alone

Text

• The readmes and ship descriptions have their spelling corrected; each
  ship.json keeps the exact 1997–98 wording in description_original and
  escort_original, and the archives in sources/ are unchanged
• In the readmes, the GeoCities home page and mailbox are marked inactive, the
  beta testers' 1997 e-mail addresses are left out, and the 1997–98 terms are
  marked as replaced by the GPL
• The edition READMEs no longer list what is held back from pictures/
• ConEx's 1997 title picture and fleet picture lead the README and the
  showcase page, credited to Paul Richeson, 28 November 1997

Lineage and credit

• ConEx GL (1998), Joshua Bussdieker's first standalone ConEx in C and OpenGL,
  kept in a private repository before konex, on Paul Richeson's account
• Advisor and Citrus were rendered by Paul Richeson; konex itself is Joshua
  Bussdieker's

Fixes

• The demo flies konex's units and gives a small edition ConEx 1.2's fleet as
  targets; the fleet flyby spaces any number of flights evenly round its lap
  (a third flight would have sat on top of the first)
