Clarify enhanced-lite's purpose a little

I realised GZDoom is a pretty poor comparison, since that thing goes
out of its way to add stuff like swimming, crouching, and jumping.

Boom specifically prioritised preserving the 'feel' of Doom, which I
think makes it much closer to CSE2E.

 ## Goal

 This branch is intended to benefit modders, by providing a feature-rich base for

-mods (think 'GZDoom' rather than 'Chocolate Doom').

+mods, while still keeping the original game's 'feel' (think of the Boom project

+rather than Chocolate Doom or GZDoom).

 That said, I want to avoid the codebase becoming an over-engineered mess of

 seldom-used and niche features - only features with a strong reason to be

 included should be added.

-Current sources for features include...

-* The "Cave Story Mod Loader" (widescreen, support for Ogg Vorbis music)

+Priority features include ones that already exist in the modding community as

+"EXE hacks", such as...

 * Common custom TSC commands ('<MIM', '<PHY')

-* Other common "EXE hacks" developed by the modding community (custom weapons, money system)

+* Custom weapons

+* A money system

+* The "Cave Story Mod Loader" (widescreen, support for Ogg Vorbis music)

+

+Note that such features should only be added if they see widespread use.

 ## Target audience

 While this branch is meant as a base for mods, it is not intended for modders
