Message after installing

Vavoom has been installed.

There are 2 wrapper scripts: "vavoom" and "vavoom-dedicated", calling the real
executables (suffixed with ".bin") from the data directory, and using the
common WAD directory.
If you have extra WAD files, specify the full path of the containing directory 
as the first argument of the wrapper script.

To run in OpenGL mode add the "-opengl" parameter, and "-openal" for OpenAL.

If you want to install enhanced textures, models or soundtracks use the
"games/vavoom-extras" port. Note that textures require OPENGL and soundtracks
need VORBIS (build options).

Refer to /usr/local/share/doc/vavoom/vavoom.txt for other options such as 
game selection, network options and so on.

If you enabled LAUNCHER (build option), run "vlaunch" for a launcher GUI.
