[Therion] Presenting Mapiah, a multi-platform, more friendly, modern and performant graphical interface for Therion

[Andrew Atkinson]

XTherion has gone a long way since I started using it many years ago, 
but it does still have lot that could be improved, I'll watch with interest.

On Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS the appimage gives the following error

/tmp/.mount_MapiahDdZUik/AppRun.wrapped: error while loading shared 
libraries: libOpenGL.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory


I was only having a quick look, this makes it a bigging job, so have not 
looked further into this

thanks

Andrew
