Update of the arcade game BOH

Simone Bevilacqua has updated the commercial arcade game BOH:

makes the game run natively on Linux (requires an x86 CPU, SDL 1.2 and SDL_mixer-1.2);
avoids the restart of the whole program upon theme change (very useful when playing in full screen, as the monitor does not need to re-sync);
adds themes randomization options;
adds the "USE ENHANCED WEAPONS" option (makes killing enemies easier);
slows down the blinking of the automapper direction indicator;
adds video mode suggestions;
fixes a minor bug in the zoom selection handling (in rare cases it could cause an illegal memory access);
fixes bad centering at 4x zoom (a couple of parentheses were missing);
links the AmigaOS version to the latest SDL;
links the Windows version to a fresh build of the custom framework (by mistake an outdated framework had been used with the consequence that, on some machines, input handling was partially broken);
includes some graphical retouches to the themes "castle" and "warm";
adds synopses to the phases of the mission "tougher and tougher";
updates and improves the user's manual;
improves some translations;
some other changes.

Additionally a Linux port of BOH was published. (cg) (Translation: dr)
