The Express editions of Visual C++ ship without ATL. The only ATL usage was
in MUNGA_L4/L4APP.cpp (atlbase.h/atlconv.h + USES_CONVERSION/W2A macros, all
in that one file) for wide-to-ANSI conversion of command-line arguments.
- Replace the ATL includes with a self-contained L4WideToAnsi helper (a
WideCharToMultiByte wrapper) and local USES_CONVERSION/W2A macros that
reproduce ATL's W2A semantics. All call sites consume the result immediately
(stricmp / CString assignment / atoi / atol), so behaviour is unchanged.
- Set UseOfATL="0" in Munga_L4.vcproj, RP_L4.vcproj and their VS2008 variants.
- Document the Express build path and the confirmed June 2010 DirectX SDK in
BUILD.md (new section 6) and docs/BUILD-NOTES.md.

Imports the current Win32 source for the pod-racing game 'Red Planet',
built on the MUNGA engine and its L4 (Win32/DirectX) platform layer:
- MUNGA / MUNGA_L4: cross-platform engine core and Win32 backend
- RP / RP_L4: Red Planet game logic and Win32 application
- DivLoader, Setup1: asset loader and installer project
- lib, MUNGA_L4/openal, MUNGA_L4/sos: third-party audio dependencies
Removed stale Subversion metadata and added .gitignore/.gitattributes.
