PiratesAtWorldsEndRecomp: recompiling Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

This recompiles Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End for the Xbox 360, USA disc, to Windows. The launcher installs the game from the player's ISO. The default renderer is NativeXRenderer. Xenos is the fallback renderer. The README reports 60 fps at the original game speed, and widescreen through 21:9. The first levels have been played in hour-long sessions. Later levels are still untested. Releases are a setup executable and a windows-x64 zip.
