As promised here comes T-Engine4 and ToME4 beta4 !

OSX binaries will come hopefully tomorrow and the linux binaries are
suspended for now until I find a good way to make them.

worth it!

randomly)
* hostile encounters in the far east
* fix achievement \u201cthat was close\u201d

* Static map generator can use getMap() function inside maps to
access the Map object and change it directly
* the far east map central mountain is under a particle shield,
where the High Peek will be located
* staves are 2 handed
* cannot wield a 2handed weapon + 1 offhand
* new musics by Celestial Aeon Project
