Description             : I just took the source code of CleanWAD that was
                         released way back by Serge Smirnov and updated the
                         program for today's DOOMing standards. No longer
                         do you have to remind yourself to "never run a WAD
                         cleaner on anything with GL_* entries, BEHAVIOR
                         resources or BOOM colormaps, etc."!
Revision summary        : Fixed non-recognition of 22050Hz sounds; vanilla
                         DOOM does use them in places (such as DSDBCLS).
New features            :

       Recognises BEHAVIOR and SCRIPTS lumps as map items
       Recognises OpenGL map entries as map items
       Recognises Heretic [sound,] graphic and music names
       Recognises HeXen sound, graphic and music names
       Recognises Strife sound, graphic and music names
       Recognises BOOM colormap lists
       Recognises ZDOOM ACS library lists
       Recognises ZDOOM auto-texture lists
       Recognises STRIFE voice lists
       Recognises Heretic and HeXen graphic font lists
       Optionally restricts entry identificaton to recognised names
       Optionally corrects two-character list markers (PP_START -> P_START)
       Optionally removes redundant list markers (e.g., F1_START, P3_END)
       Optionally remove SCRIPTS and SCRIPTnn entries (often decompiled)
       Optionally sorts PNAMES just after any TEXTURE lumps
       Optionally attempts to recognise maps with nonstandard names
       Optionally attempts to recognize DOOM and WAVE sounds by format
       Optionally attempts to recognize DOOM and MIDI musics by format
       Optionally attempts to recognize DOOM graphics by format
       Optionally uses a specified game to minimize entry misidentification
       Optionally uses other directory sortation orders than "by list"
       Optionally packs the file by sharing lumps between directory entries
       Completely rewritten and now using a totally new engine
       Recognises an environment variable from which to take extra default options

* Copyright / Permissions *

The original permissions message was "You may use any part of this source
file provided you give me credit.", so the original work of Serge Smirnov is
hereby acknowledged - he put the hard work in when CleanWAD was first made.

Authors MAY use the contents of this file as a base for modification or reuse
provided that you e-mail the current author a copy and give them the right to
use parts of your work in future releases. [The same ought really to be done for
the original author of CleanWAD but he seems to have totally disappeared from
the DOOM community]. You must also credit work of all previous authors and that
of the original author, Serge Smirnov. Permissions have been obtained from
original author for any of their resources modified or included in this file
(he gave permission in the original source code provided he was credited).

You MAY (and are encouraged to) distribute and use CleanWAD, provided:

   (1) This entire collection of files is distributed UNMODIFIED,
       preferably in the original ZIP file in which it should have come. I
       have received permission from the original authors of any modified
       or included content in this file to allow further distribution.
   (2) The distribution is on a non-commercial basis; you may put CleanWAD
       on FTP sites or CD or other media as part of a collection for which
       you are charging a fee as long as you understand that the fee is for
       the collecting and (if applicable) the media, *not* for CleanWAD.
   (3) You accept that as with all free systems provided free of charge for
       like-minded people,CleanWAD is NOT guaranteed to work completely or
       correctly although it is likely to do so; thus it is a condition of
       use that you accept that as with most such products, you use it at
       your own risk. CleanWAD is **NOT** designed to be fault-tolerant!
   (4) Any legal disputes over CleanWAD or any part of it, including these
       terms and conditions, shall be governed by the Laws of England;
       furthermore, you do not have permission to use CleanWAD in any
       jurisdiction whose laws modify or limit these conditions unless you
       VOLUNTARILY accept these conditions as if under the Laws of England.

Note: although it won't happen straight away, once I have ensured that none of
Serge Smirnov's original code is left, I will CONSIDER releasing it under GPL.
