One more try to get these stupid mods to actually upload instead of just

linking in.

+This simple mod uses a bit of code cobbled together from the default 
+torches and from the recently-introduced animated lava to create proper, 
+animated torches.  All existing torches (wall, ceiling, floor) will be 
+displayed with the new animated texture, but no nodes are being 
+replaced.  Inventory/wield image uses the stock torch image already 
+supplied with Minetest.
+
+Textures by me (derived from a rendered torch and an actual burning 
+flame).
+
+This mod requires a build or git pull of Minetest dated June 17, 2012 or 
+later.

+License: GPL for the code, WTFPL for the textures.
