Move binary assets out of git

Fixes Revolutionary-Games#32

The res directory has been removed. The directories res/scripts and
res/ogre_cfg have been moved up into the root directory.

CMake now offers an option to set the asset directory and throws an
error if it doesn't exist or is empty.

Asset creators can now put their files in the "testing" subdirectory of
an installation to override any other resource files.

Move scripts up one directory

Remove binary assets from git

Add "testing" resource directory

The content of this directory overrides all other resource
directories.

Move res/ogre_cfg to ./ogre_cfg

Let's get rid of that res directory

Remove unused music file

Will be added to the asset repository later

Remove res directory

The Blender files have been moved to the asset repository

Fix SVN URL in CMake warning

Add username / password hint to CMake asset warning

Promote CMake asset warning to an error

In theory, users could build Thrive without assets, but it
wouldn't do them any good because there's no way they could
execute it.

Better README.md

Add simple explanation for Subversion art asset

Add dependency list for Linux developers

Attempt to fix links

Write out ftp link since GitHub seems to filter them

+
+Getting Involved
+----------------
+Depending on what you want to contribute, you need to take different steps
+to get your development environment set up.
+
+### Script Authors
+If you only want to modify the Lua scripts, you can just download a 
+precompiled package from our build server at ftp://91.250.119.121/jenkins.
+After unpacking, you will find the scripts in the aptly named `scripts` 
+subdirectory.
+
+Be sure to have a look at the [styleguide][styleguide],
+both for guidelines on code formatting and git usage.
+
+### C++ Programmers
+To compile Thrive yourself, you will not only need to clone this git 
+repository, but also the Subversion [asset repository][asset_repository],
+username and password both "anonymous".  The best place to put the assets 
+is in your code repository's `assets` subdirectory. If, for whatever 
+reason, you want to check it out to another place, you will have to modify 
+the `ASSET_DIRECTORY` variable in the CMake setup. Offloading art assets 
+into Subversion was necessary due to size constraints for GitHub repositories.
+
+Windows developers should follow the procedure outlined in the [mingw setup 
+guide]().
+
+For the time being, Linux developers will have to manually set up their build 
+environment. The dependencies at the time of this writing are
+
+* gcc 4.7 or newer
+* boost 1.52
+* Ogre 1.8
+* Bullet 2.81
+* OpenAL Soft 1.15.1
+
+Be sure to have a look at the [styleguide][styleguide],
+both for guidelines on code formatting and git usage.
+
+### Modellers and Sound Engineers
+To work on the art assets, you can download a precompiled package from our
+build server at ftp://91.250.119.121/jenkins. After unpacking, create a 
+subdirectory `testing` and place your assets in there. If they are used 
+anywhere in the game, they will be picked up by Thrive.
+
+More detailed instructions for contributing art assets will follow soon.
