Niotso Minimum Requirements

Of course, as the client and server packages haven't been written yet, these requirements may be subject to change.

Rationale
Niotso Client will make use of vertex shaders and vertex buffer objects for Hardware T&L, and therefore requires an OpenGL 2.0 graphics device, the specification for which was released on September 7, 2004.

Rationale
We use PostgreSQL because it is perhaps the most advanced open source SQL database software there is; it provides an official library for server software; and it works on all of our desired operating systems.

Rationale
No real reasoning behind these numbers. We won't be using C++11, yet.
