cutealien 3d2a55e788 Replace header guards in source folder to avoid using identifiers reserved by c++
Basically fixing original Bug#427 reported by MArkus Elfring.
Unfortunately there are still more defines (in IrrCompileConfig.h) which also are not nice c++
Lots of files touched for very minor cleanup *sigh*

The Irrlicht Engine SDK version 1.9

==========================================================================
1. Directory Structure Overview
==========================================================================

  You will find some directories after uncompressing the archive of the
  SDK. These are:

  \bin         The compiled library Irrlicht.DLL and some compiled demo
               and example applications, just start them to see the
               Irrlicht Engine in action. Windows only.
  \doc         Documentation of the Irrlicht Engine.
  \examples    Examples and tutorials showing how to use the engine with
               C++.
  \include     Header files to include when programming with the engine.
  \lib         Libs to link with your programs when using the engine.
  \media       Graphics and sound resources for the demo applications and
               examples.
  \source      The source code of the Irrlicht Engine. This code is
               not needed to develop applications with the engine,
               but it is included to enable recompilation and
               debugging, if necessary.
  \tools       Useful tools (with sourcecode) for the engine.



==========================================================================
2. How to start
==========================================================================

  To see the engine in action in Windows, just go to the \bin\Win32-VisualStudio
  directory, and start some applications. There should also be an
  application named Demo.exe which should show the most
  interesting features of Irrlicht.

  To start developing own applications and games with the engine take
  a look at the 01.HelloWorld example in the \examples directory.
  There is also a .html file with a tutorial which should be
  easily comprehensible.

  The Irrlicht Engine is a static lib under linux. A precompiled version can be
  generated from the sources using the Makefile in source/Irrlicht. Run 'make' in 
  that subfolder. After this you should be able to 'make' all
  example applications in /examples by calling the buildAllExamples script. You 
  can run the examples then from the bin folder.

  It is also possible to use Irrlicht as shared object
  (libIrrlicht.so.versionNumber). Use the proper makefile target for this by
  running 'make sharedlib' in the source folder. See the Makefile for details.

  For OSX you can find an XCode project file in source/Irrlicht/MacOSX. This will
  build the libIrrlicht.a library necessary to create the apps.

==========================================================================
3. Requirements
==========================================================================

  You can use one of the following compilers/IDEs to develop applications
  with Irrlicht or recompile the engine. However, other compilers/IDEs may
  work as well, we simply didn't test them.

  * gcc 4.x
  * Visual Studio 2010(10.0)-2013(12.0)
  * Code::Blocks (& gcc or visual studio toolkit)
  
  If you ever want to (re)compile the engine yourself (which means you don't
  want to use the precompiled version) you need the following:

  * Windows:
	* Needed: PlatformSDK (which usually comes with all IDEs, download
			it separately for MSVC Express 2005)
	* Optional: DirectX SDK, for D3D9 support
	* Optional: DirectX SDK prior to May 2006, for D3D8 support

  * Linux:
	* Needed: XServer with include files
	* Optional: OpenGL headers and libraries (libGL.so) for OpenGL support
		GLX +
		XF86VidMode [package x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev] or XRandr
		(X11 support libraries, the latter two for fullscreen mode)

  * OSX:
	* Needed: XCode and Cocoa framework
	* Needed: OpenGL headers and libraries

==========================================================================
4. Release Notes
==========================================================================

  Informations about changes in this new version of the engine can be
  found in changes.txt.

  Please note that the textures, 3D models and levels are copyright
  by their authors and not covered by the Irrlicht engine license.

==========================================================================
5. License
==========================================================================

  The license of the Irrlicht Engine is based on the zlib/libpng license.
  Even though this license does not require you to mention that you are
  using the Irrlicht Engine in your product, an acknowledgement
  would be highly appreciated.

  Please note that the Irrlicht Engine is based in part on the work of
  the Independent JPEG Group, the zlib, and libpng. This means that if you use
  the Irrlicht Engine in your product, you must acknowledge somewhere
  in your documentation that you've used the IJG code and libpng. It would
  also be nice to mention that you use the Irrlicht Engine and the zlib.
  See the README files in the jpeglib and the zlib for
  further informations.
