nmlgc e6294c2c1a [Reverse-engineering] [th02/th04/th05] Score update and display
The TH02 version is a piece of cake…

… but TH04 starts turning it into this un-decompilable piece of
unnecessarily micro-optimized ZUN code. Couldn't have chosen anything
better for the first separate ASM translation unit.

Aside from now having to convert names of exported *variables* to
uppercase for visibility in ASM translation units, the most notable
lesson in this was the one about avoiding fixup overflows. From the
Borland C++ Version 4.0 User's Guide:

	"In an assembly language program, a fixup overflow frequently
	 occurs if you have declared an external variable within a
	 segment definition, but this variable actually exists in a
	 different segment."

Can't be restated often enough.

nmlgc 3ba536a2d8 [Reverse-engineering] [th04/th05] Text popups
As in, "HiScore Entry!!", "Extend!!", "Full PowerUp!!", etc.
Class CFloatingText in uth05win… but I decided against naming it like
that because of some stage/BGM title-related variables in the middle.
