Setting up TurtleBrains

Getting the framework setup is not terribly hard, but it could be easier with some work and for that reason the documentation in this area will be very breif and slightly incomplete as it is expected that this process changes in future versions to be much easier.

Add all source files to your project, most IDE's should support drag and drop of source directory.
- C++11 is used within the source files, so you may need to set an option.
- (Because Objective-C .mm files are used on mac, it may be required to remove those from Windows/Linux builds)
Add the external_libraries/includes directory to the compilers include search paths.
Add the appropriate external_libraries/libraries/ to the linkers search paths.
- Windows requires linking with: OpenGL32, glew32, and OpenAL32
- Mac OS X requires linking with: AppKit.framework, OpenGL.framework, glew, and OpenAL.framework
- Linux requires linking with: xlib, GL, GLEW, and openal
Add a source file including the main() function which starts up the project and you should be good to go!
