Provides more accurate interaction with detectors when the avatar is moving up or down.
Also decreases the severity of the PhysX trigger hull bug in some detectors.
This change doesn't affect world collisions.
While based heavily on the old implementation, this is essentially a rewrite.
Notable changes -
Controllers are now updated at the same fixed frequency as the simulation.
Resulting output is interpolated between steps to precisely match the frame delta.
Physics work is only done when enough time has passed to perform a step.
The kinematic actor that followed around the controller has been removed.
The underlying kinematic actor created by the NxController is now used for triggering.
A new sim group was added for a kinematically controlled avatar.
2 unused files removed -
plPXPhysicalController.h & plPXPhysicalController.cpp
plMovementStrategy classes have been reworked and completely replace all plAvatarControllers.
While based on the old implementation, plPhysicalControllerCore has essentially been rewritten.
Remnants of long gone physical "actions" have been removed.
4 files removed -
plAVCallbackAction.h & plAVCallbackAction.cpp
plAntiGravAction.h & plAntiGravAction.cpp
This revision will not compile, requires new plPXPhysicalControllerCore implementation.
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.
Add plClientPatcher and plUruLauncher to AllClient.sln.
Adjust include and library paths in the "Release" build.
Adjust library depedencies to remove EAX, IJL, and Bink, and add IJG jpeg libraries.
Remove some overlooked Havok include files.
Add sample build and clean batch files to build the AllClient solution from a MSVC 2003 command prompt.
