Update readme.txt for latest methods installing MFC, smdlexp and SDL2 #140

MFC provided by the latest Visual Studio works fine. FreeGLUT is now recommended because GLUT library is outdated. GLAUX should be replaced. I managed to get 3DS MAX 4.2 SDK, and some of the SDK headers needs some changes, but smdlexp project itself doesn't have any problem. Linking warning generated by smdlexp can be ignored. It's not a problem.

I've updated the tools code in the tools-upgrade branch to use SDL2 only for graphics, so neither GLaux nor GLUT are used anymore. SDL2.lib contained in this repository is used to link with it, while the executables need the SDL2.dll file from the game installation in order to run.

Can you update the readme to include this information? Then i can merge it in.
