 * You can upgrade to a newer version of Speex if you like, but you will need to fix the Speex VS2010 projects first (by removing the architectures we do not have from the Speex project files).
 * Libogg 1.3.2 was used because xiph removed the VS2010 projects from 1.3.3 and above.
 * You must use a 2.6.x version of PhysX for CWE, because the cooked mesh format was changed in PhysX 2.7.x and later.
 * All libraries are compiled with "Whole Program Optimization" turned off.
