compatibility layer to work with MT 0.4.16 engine

* use intlib if present if not mock the translation function
* do not miss thirth parameter in the force register function of nodes
* better (in sync with minenux) description
* add depends.txt and description.txt files with such information for 0.4
* lower the requirements in mod.conf file so
* minor update to README then
