New in Coin v2.0.2a (so far):
* bugfixes in
  - using OpenAL on Windows (used wrong calling convention)
  - crash-bug for SoGetPrimitiveCountAction on SoVertexProperty node
  - bugfix for elements. State is recreated in actions when a new
    element has been enabled.
  - VRML export bugfix. The VRML node prefix will now not be skipped
    when the file header is != #VRML V2.0 utf8.
