Improved Cursors
This is the second attempt at getting the following improvements to the Uru mouse cursors into CWE-ou:
* fix the blurriness
* add a subtle shadow to fix cursors being invisible on light backgrounds
* cleaner, more regular appearance
A (slightly outdated) picture for comparison is at http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?t=558&p=4265#p4265 , and anyone who has played on Gehn, TOC, or any other shard using the H'uru client has already seen the new cursors.
In order to do this properly, in a way that will continue to work in a cross-platform future, a lot of work done by Deledrius in the H'uru fork is included: He added PNG support to Plasma and introduced a client resource manager that loads resources such as the cursors, but also voice chat indicators and the loading linking book animation, which were also replaced by higher-quality recreations, fromfile instead of from Windows resources. resource.data
This also opens the way for other applications of PNG, such as saving the local copies of KI pictures in a lossless format instead of the heavily compressed JPEG we currently have.
Note: the new code requires a newer version of libpng than included with the CWE sources. Like other library dependencies, this must be installed separately. Instructions for that are at http://wiki.openuru.org/index.php?title=Build_the_client_with_MSVC_2003#Build_steps .
Fix Landing Behaviors
How to Verify: The avatar should now land on the ground from jumps as in PotS. Therefore, standing jumps produce a full landing, downhill jumps produce a blended landing based on how far down the avatar fell, and uphill jumps produce no landing.
DST Fix
Original implementation by Adam Johnson, with some bug fixes by Christian Walther.
Includes a fix for plUnifiedTime::SetGMTime not working correctly when the given time falls into local DST.
Basic clipboard functionality
Adds following commands to single- and multiline edit boxes: Ctrl-C - copy field contents to system clipboard Ctrl-V - paste contents of clipboard at current cursor position
The meat comes from the following H-uru/Plasma commits by Branan and Zrax, but I?m not going to replicate that spaghetti history here:

STL fixes needed to link from StartUp to Personal
(e.g. the linking book loading animation). Nobody ever noticed because the debug build was completely broken in MSVC7, and H-uru/Plasma does it completely differently.
The default value of the "dst" argument must be 0, because -1 leads to incorrect results when the given time falls into local DST. However, a "dst" argument makes no sense on a method that deals with GMT anyway, so remove it entirely.
The bounds type test was performed on stale bounding data from the previous
frame resulting in the avatar being drawn without textures for a frame after
switching from 1st to 3rd person camera.
