the text when selecting a campaign can be quite long.
Currently there is no check, and no scrolling,
so it can run out of the textbox.

Also, the text starts fairly low on the page.

This problem exists for every long(er) text in the game (e.g
campaign text, mission descriptions, ufopedia entries, etc..).

This issue needs to be resolved for UFO:AI 2.1, because
we'll get quite some (mostly new) text to put into the
ufopedia and without scrollbars this will be quite a pain.
Therefore I'm increasing the priority of this FR.

A major code change part is already in svn trunk, but not
wokring at all yet (mattn and me tried to make it work to no
success).

Attached you'll find the (not tested at all) patch to
support text-scrolling in Font_DrawString (this needs to be
in the renderer, becasue the rendere breaks up unbroken lines)

Basic scroll functionality has been implemented in trunk.

There are some small problems left, but nothing too serious.
