Summary	0002362: Water texture/wobble is too fast
Description	Our default water texture shifts very fast, and the vertex shader also supplies a very fast "wobble". This is completely unrealistic, unless you have heavy wind (and even then it doesn't look realistic). For any still cave water, kitchen sinks, puddles etc. the water should not move so fast. In addition to the default being way too fast, there is also the issue that the speed can only be change by copying the water material and then modifying it. What we need is: * an easy way for the mapper to set the speed of the waves (via spawnarg) * a slower default speed

At the moment it is a bit unclear what the second param does, it is feed to the vertex shader, but what the purpose is not clear. Things to do:
