[etoys-dev] Etoys 5.0 intro materials

[karl ramberg]

The list of changes and fixes is quite long :-)
I see 402 commits to the Etoys repository in my mailbox.

I'm not sure all are so interesting that have to be featured, but
quite a few are.

Now we just need to compile the list of all the changes...
