CydandClaude Fable 5 af010c18c2 BT410 5.3.63: the mech gets both skeleton and engine renderables
MakeEntityRenderables no longer stops after the skeleton.  It builds ours AND
chains DPLRenderer, which is what creates the RootRenderable and the
DPLEyeRenderable the camera follows.  Verified over three runs:

  [mer] 208 class=3001 view=1 res=1
     [vid] type=1 file='mad.skl'
  [skl] video\mad.skl -> 26 nodes, 19 objects
     [chain] into DPLRenderer, skeleton=yes, stack at 0x12dde7

No fault, mission launches, sim runs.  Worth noting separately: the engine's
eyepoint construction -- prime suspect for the page fault through most of a
session -- runs perfectly here, with the stack at 0x12dde7, right beside the
main loop's frame.  Both are consistent with the corrected finding that the
fault is a live-RIO artifact at a fixed DPMI host address.

The camera still does not move: two frames six seconds apart differ by zero
pixels while [sim] shows the mech travelling from (487,20,288) to (493,20,301),
and the bridge reads cam (0.0, 10.0, 0.0) -- world origin plus eye height.  So
the eye renderable was necessary but not sufficient.

Eliminated by reading our own code rather than guessing: the viewpoint entity
IS the mech (BTL4APP.CPP:354), the video renderer IS linked to it
(APP.CPP:1337), and SetupCull would Fail() loudly if the mech lacked
"siteeyepoint" or EyepointRotation -- neither Fail appears.  That leaves the
path from SetupCull's worldToEyeMatrix to what the bridge reads off the wire,
which is bridge territory rather than reconstruction territory.
