40K Source

This weeks changes are mainly new sound effects, some crash fixes and tweaks to the logging system.  No balance tweaks at all, I think the classes and weapons are finally ready.  I've had a couple of server crashes this week, but failed to save my PDBs from that build, so I haven't been able to debug them.  I'm not happy releasing a crashy server build as a Beta so we're going to hold on for a bit longer and test this for another week to two.

Special thanks to DontAsk4470 (http://steamcommunity.com/id/DontAsk4470) for his work on sound effects for this alpha.
