Remove binaries #43

Binaries shouldn't live beside source code. The best place for binaries is the releases tab on Github.

These binaries aren't binaries for the app, they are engine binaries and required for the app to function. Ideally this project would have the engine repo as a submodule and the Xcode project would be configured to automatically build the binaries, but I haven't invested any time in figuring out how to do that. In the meantime, the engine binaries are an imperfect solution.

Fair enough. My bad.
