Change log:

Added valerie.ini metadata file to support AL|EN's "Project Infinity".
Replaced `AUTHOR` keyword with `SUPPORT`.
Added missing `HANDLE_CHARSETS` function to convert string entries for EE games.
Added Modmerge check for SoD games.
Added missing `REQUIRE_PREDICATE` process to avoid installing the mod in inaccurate games.
Added component `DESIGNATED` number and "valerie_npc_for_bg" `LABEL`.
Externalized tp2 code into main_component.tpa library for more comfortable readability and maintenance.
Commented code as much as possible.
Replaced `GAME_IS` conditions with variables checks to speed up install time.
Added native EET compatibility.
SoD/EET/BGT compatibility: as she has no content for those games, Valerie will no longer remain in the party at SoD and BGT transitions.
fw4800.baf: Added "Continue()" to the script block that is patched via `EXTEND_TOP`.
dialogues: fixed a typo wrongly patching t2val.d (bt2val.d) and prematurely breaking off dialog (thanks Greenhorn for reporting it), and added eet variables when relevant (t2valj.d).
Updated cpmvars files.
Fixed kit.ids in classic games if BG2 Fixpack is not installed (preventing `WARNINGS` when compiling dialog files).
Cleaned up old ids entries patch replaced with more recent BG2 Fixpack one and removed animate.ids patching that was ruining Infinity Animations fixes if installed after IA.
Simplified area type flagging and Tutu area script assignment patching.
Fixed Valerie portraits in EE games.
Added Russian translation (by JamesMaxwell & Arcanecoast.ru).
Traified.
Updated deprecated modding tools links.
Re-formated, updated and renamed readme file to valerie-readme-english.html and moved it into new readme folder.
Removed useless files.
Lower cased files.
Updated OggDec to v1.9.7 and added sox v14.4.1 for Mac.
Included Linux and Mac Os X versions in the same package (thanks AL|EN's Infinity Auto Packager tool!).
Updated WeiDU installer to v246.
Uploaded mod to official Spellhold Studios GitHub mirror account.
