SuperTux v0.1.3.7 (Pandora Game Port)

SuperTux is a classic 2D jump’n run sidescroller game in a style similar to the original Super Mario games covered under the GPL.

Changes:

1. Corrected the location of the ‘preview block’ in the level editor.
2. Due to the wider screen, I needed to expand the size of the default level for the level editor.

* made some new maps for vs/coop/speedrace
* (made a working win32exe of ddasconvert.py with py2exe (windows tested and ok), but i did not included it because it raises the packagesize about +2.7MB!)
