Made the iffexport utility (design based on libfar), added in an HTML5 z-buffer renderer, and made tags for libfar 1.0.0 and libvitaboy 1.0.0.

+
+
+libvitaboy is a cross-platform C++ library for parsing the various character rendering formats used in The Sims Online and using
+that information to render and animate the 3D characters of the game using OpenGL.
+
+Formats include:
+  (*) ANIM (Animation)
+  (*) APR  (Appearance)
+  (*) BND  (Binding)
+  (*) COL  (Collection)
+  (*) HAG  (Hand Group)
+  (*) MESH (Mesh)
+  (*) OFT  (Outfit)
+  (*) PO   (Purchasable Outfit)
+  (*) SKEL (Skeleton)
+
+
+1.  What this library will do for you
+
+You can use this library to render a character in a fixed location.
+
+
+2.  Compiling
+
+Compiling is straightforward. The Makefiles and project files should already be set up for you, and are easy to tweak.
+Before compiling the library, make your changes to config.h to specify what's compiled in.
+
+  a. Compiling from a Makefile
+
+    Makefiles are listed in the top directory in the format Makefile.$(PLATFORM). Just copy the one applicable to your platform
+    to the destination file "Makefile" and run GNU make.
+
+  b. Compiling from a project file
+
+    Project files are held within their own directories. They can be opened up with the target IDE and be compiled by
+    invoking the compile action of that IDE.
+
+  c. Compiling using your own Makefile or project file
+
+    It's possible no such file exists for your platform. In this case, look at whichever Makefile is most relevant to your
+    platform, copy all source files down (.cpp, .hpp, ...), and add it your own Makefile or project. In theory,
+    it should work. :)
+
+libvitaboy is intended to work with any C++ compiler. If not, and the compiler is not only modern and popular but also free
+software (gratis, libre, open source software), please report it as a bug.
+
