MC IDE 2.6b1 released

[Ken Ray]

Thanks for releasing this Richard!

One thing, though... now that the 2.6 engne has XP look and feel, the IDE
looks kind of strange in Windows XP (menus and buttons are too big or seem
to hilite "wierdly"). I'm not sure what to do about this (since we don't
want to affect the other platforms), but just thought you should know.

Thanks,

Ken Ray
