Usage:
-----------------

cd <installation directory>
uclient

If you have moved the installation directory you may use the shell script
"go" to start uclient.

Content server
-----------------

uclient can download missing media files from a content server during runtime.
When the stuff is downloaded it is saved into a cache directory structure
for later use. To enable this feature a working URI of a content server
has to be put into the uclient configuration file ~/.uclient/settings.ini
in the section [media], e.g.:

  contentbaseurl="http://your.contentserver.org/path/to/repository/"

This feature is disabled if the value for contentbaseurl is empty.

If you have to use a proxy you can specify that in in the same section
with the following two configuration keys:

  proxy_host="hostname_or_ip"
  proxy_port=3128

Uedit
--------

This package also contains a little editor for the file sprites.xml.
Its called uedit. This editor is not compiled by default. To compile and
install it do the following in the basedir of the source tree:

  make editor
  make editor-install (probably as root)
