Implement a system where players can send arbitrary signals to each other
(arbitrary, from the point of view of the network protocol). This would be used
to send trade and docking requests, and to replace the silly 'hail' command
with a 'request for private chat'.

In the future this could also be used for other signals, like players declaring
their hostile intent.

It might also be possible to use the signals mechanism
to exchange targetting info.

Add an improved options menu with video, audio, controls and game settings.

TODO
- video settings
- menu to configure game settings
- merge settings menus into a single, tabbed window

DONE
- menu to configure controls
- menu to configure player settings (name, colors, ..)
- menu to configure graphics settings
- menu to configure audio settings

- Mining equipment ?
- Misc equipment

DONE

The camera handling is rather confusing. It would be best to retire the third-person "Turret" view and have a cockpit view and an external, third-person view.

Freelook should still work on both modes, but the camera angle should not be reset when leaving freelook.

TODO

• remove Turret view
• use shift+mousewheel to zoom in/out
• remember freelook angle
• remove 360-degree rotation limitation
• remove control lock (spacebar)
• do not pass ship control events when in a menu

If you box-select a number of entities, and you want to move them, you have to drag the active selected entity.
CLicking any other selected (highlighted) entity will deselect the other members in the selection.

Dragging any member of the selection should work.
