MakeHuman (alpha5) su Ubuntu10.4

E' uscita la alpha5 di MakeHuman che introduce molti miglioramenti. Essendo una versione alpha non implementa tutte le funzioni della versione finale ma presenta importanti funzionalita'.

In particolare e' stata modificata l'interfaccia grafica che ora supporta i temi e le tab.
E stata introdotta la modalita' FaceCam che permette di avere una visuale di modifica particolareggiata per quanto riguarda la testa del modello e sono presenti dei tool di modifica in realtime per ogni area del modello (orecchie, occhi, naso, ecc).

NB: Con la prima uscita di questa alpha si doveva installare python2.5 (dato che Lucid implementa la versione 2.6), ma il problema dovrebbe essere stato risolto. Di seguito il changelog del programma:
