WOTC Show Tech Path

This mod enhances the Choose Research screen to display "Breadcrumb" hints
for items, to indicate which research path they are applicable to. Most items
are already fairly obvious, however the breadcrumbs are more useful for Autopsy research
items.


The following research paths are included with the mod:
1. Ranged (Weapons)
2. Armor
3. Grenade
4. Psionics
5. Melee (Weapons)
6. Gremlin

I could have included every tech path possible, but decided that would be information overload, and
just included what I considered to be the top priority research paths.




Files XComWOTCShowTechPath.ini and WOTCShowTechPath.int can be modified to include
other research paths, if desired.

Entries in XComWOTCShowTechPath.ini specify which research items are given breadcrumb
information.
