[visionegg] repository moved to github

I have decided to move the Vision Egg source repository and issue
tracking to github:

http://github.com/visionegg/visionegg

The issue tracker is now at:

http://github.com/visionegg/visionegg/issues

If you're not a git lover, you can always download the latest git
version (or an old release) as a tarball or zip file by clicking the
"download" button.

I'd also like to release another incremental release ASAP since the main
showcase demo (multi_stim.py) reveals a bug in PyOpenGL 3, which has now
been released for some time with no fix. The development version of VE
works around this:
http://github.com/visionegg/visionegg/commit/46effc80b48c247338c78ce724d2fa6245d11b3b

Furthermore, some of the PyOpenGL 3 beta releases were broken and I've
added code to prevent VE from loading with such a beta release:
http://github.com/visionegg/visionegg/commit/dab7740a92ad6b5881ee4eaffa5050be04e83049

The main downside of switching to git from my perspective is that the
branches I had been maintaining with svnmerge.py haven't come across to
github intact.
