Why the credits shouldn't be in the splashscreen? I mean, in KHM in HEAD I 
have stuck the "cultural" Help button, but still I wander, why I culdn't keep 
the "original authour in their splash screen...

Well... The "animals" will be left insede the combo box for now; I am working 
on 0.8 version, and honestly there are some things, that  I give under 
question:
Exactly for the "animals".... This is something, that I have been wondering 
for some time... Well... The animals indeed are categorised, but the problem 
is, that they DO NOT belong after "easy" level, because they are WAAAAY to 
hard to actually put them after the easy level :)

OK... Where are those??? I don't actually remember putting any "start" or 
option... There are "play", "try" and "configuration" :(

Erm... OK... Font sized "100" is HUGE!!! In the new KHangMan the word will 
have letters of Helvetica::24, and I KNOW, that this should be huge enough :) 
I have rewrote the complete interface (engine still doesn't work), and the 
fonts for the buttons are normal... Helvetica 12 normal :)
