Changes between this 1.00.0 and previous 1.00 version:
1. I almost shipped with with a GAME_RELEASE = 00, 'cause no one told
me to check out a new fcktypes.h. Whew. I did a "supermake pcou" right
after that to make sure nothing else slipped through.
2. Did supermake full with CCOPTIMIZE set to 1, verified it by checking
mk_obj.mk to make sure CFLAGS had -O2 flag.
3. This has Bob's change to pot_linear last night which treats the
low 10% as 0, upper 10% as 1000. Bob took out the part of the code
that was boosting the Y values with changes in X, because that code
had a bug that was boosting the low end when it wasn't supposed to,
which made it not get to 0 as it should have. Nice work figuring that
out Bob.
4. This has Andy's change that comments out "scorecard_die()" in game_over
state, which was adding an additional 13 seconds to the game over
to attract transition time
