[Papervision3D] Far manifest...

[Edwin van Rijkom]

Hi John,

The -m option is for building an archive from an xml manifest file. 
Using it on a .far file confused the XML parser. I'll make sure to put 
in a better error. To extract a manifest from an existing .far file 
though, use the -n option. So:

 > far.exe -n mexico.far

should work, and should create 'mexico.xml' (the manifest).

To repack the archive from the manifest:

 > far.exe -x mexico.far (to extract all files from the org. archive)
 > far.exe -m mexico.xml

Beware that extracting a manifest doesn't bring back the originally 
specified priority groups, for those aren't stored in the archive to 
keep things small. Normally though, the .far author would have the 
original manifest (incl. priorities).

The version that's currently on-line has a bug on adding files to 
existing archives. This is fixed with my local build that I'll upload 
shortly.

Cheers,
Edwin
