Shareware episode fully playable, entering beta state

This release lifts RigelEngine to beta status: The entire shareware version (i.e. first episode) is now fully playable with all game mechanics and enemies, the game can be saved & loaded, and high scores can be entered into the high score list.

When launched for the first time, RigelEngine imports any existing saved games and high score lists from the original game's directory. From then on, these are saved in a user-specific user profile, which means several users on the same computer can have their own saved games and high score lists.

Major pieces still missing are the options menu, the in-game enemy radar, and demo playback.
