wxlauncher - issue #66

If OpenAL is missing from user's sytem, there is no obvious information about why things do not work

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Run wxL on a system without OpenAL installed 2. Populate the binaries list by selecting a folder with a valid FSO binary in it 3. Select a FSO binary

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected output: warn the user that they cannot play without having OpenAL installed What I see: A not-so-clear error message with a non informative status bar message (for the non-technical user at least) - see attachment

This requires more communication between the parts of wxL, but it completely doable.
