EA Version 2: startup and slowdown fixes!

We had a really fun free first weekend playing Planetoid Pioneers Online with you all! Unfortunately, some had trouble starting the game due to obscure configuration issues with our compilers, that we now have finally tracked down and fixed.

We also noticed that players with slow computers would cause whole games to slow down for everyone, due to the way we have to do networking (via determinism) with all the crazy physics going on. So, we've added a feature where slow players are detected and the others in the game are offered to vote to have them booted out. It's not so nice for the slowpoke, but it's better than the whole game experience being ruined for everyone.

Keep an eye out for highlight videos on some of the game modes that you unlock later - Deathmatch and Base Battle are some of the ones we have the most fun with ourselves when we playtest! We'll publish them later today.
