MINOR RELEASE

Improved some clutter from the lagmeter, level sprite data and collision.
Added a few new timers.

We will now use luarocks for package management. This is the last release that works out of the box, without installing packages via luarocks.

This release removes support for BizHawk. You should use Bruno Valads' repository for now on.
It also improves the code quality and adds the following features:

IMPORTANT NOTES
Snes9x won't get updates anymore, unless it's a bugfix.

New BizHawk versions usually break the compatibility of some functions. Therefore, each time a new Biz version is released, smw-tas script will have a new release ending the support for the obsoleted version. Users will either update the emulator or stick to this final script release.

This release changes the structure of the repository:

1. lsnes is the prefered emulator and its script is outside folders. The other scripts are inside extra.
2. Modules are used, instead of a single file.
3. One should download the whole repo (Source Code below) instead of choosing the scripts.
