Well, last upload was in 200*4*. I don't expect people interested in
bos/stratagus not to know about boswars.

In spirit, boswars = bos + stratagus. But I'm really unsure dummy
transition packages are appropriate, especially when the data package
takes 5 times more space; and when people initially interested in the
engine only will now get a dependency upon a huge data package.

AFAICT, that's not a trivial transition, and not supporting upgrades
from bos, stratagus, and stratagus-gl was done on purpose. But I welcome
any comments, of course.

Cheers,
