Extended description:
--------------------
Please note, this is a very early release.  I'm just putting it out so people know
it's being worked on.  Following is a list of things that are in progress.

To Do:
  New meshes for all three objects (in progress)
  Short-range attack for alt-fire.
  Ability to hook oter objects (like players) and reel them in.
  Misc bug fixes
  Get feedback on any changes (like the reel speed)
  Playtesting, to see how death works while hooked

Version Info:

      0.2 - Seperation
                  Added a new class under the knife decoration to serve as a
            pick.  Had the projectile (the hook) spawn the pick, and moved all
            the timer functions to the pick (removing them from the gun).  
                  Repaired the problems with animation.
                  Gun now allows you to switch weapons while swaying or even 
            being reeled in.
                  Fixed the problem with water by increasing the pull rate for
            specific physics modes.
                  Added ability to reel out slowly.
      0.1 - Basic Functionality
                  Subclassed the RazorJack and Razor classes, for a gun and hook,
            changed hook to latch to wall and changed gun to reel in and release
            based on states.
