New Test Release

Another test build which includes:

• Adjustment to the cursor hotspots; the active point of the cursor (mouse pointer) image. Some of these hotspots have always been off a little but the new UI scaling and the cursor scaling makes the incorrect offsets more noticeable. A particularly bad example was the USE cursor and was sometimes causing the wrong item to be used from the inventory window.
• Fix forum issue http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=60942: If you have an active spell waiting for a target and click close to a creature, cast the spell on the creature rather than attack it.
