So in reviewing the updates for the last master build and uploading a new version of the applet based on dev build 123 - the jar got a whole lot bigger since last, about 10 MB, or an increase of near 50% :D

Using obfuscation via #58 will help some, but not for the music (Dimlight solo is near 4MB). So like discussed earlier I'm wondering what we can do to use low quality music for the applet, yet also make it available in high quality too, maybe via automatic download somewhere, accessible from inside the app?

I'm also wondering if it wouldn't make sense to create a TeraMisc repo to keep non-central stuff / extras in that you don't need to be able to pull the minimal stuff needed to run from source. If we could set a build for a high quality music pack out of that repo, hook it up via in-game download option, then we could also shrink the main repo some too. We could still provide an easy downloader for everything in one package, especially with #167 worked some
