CrystalSpace (and more) packages

[Devid Antonio Filoni]

I worked on a new source package for crystalspace, you can find it at
https://edge.launchpad.net/~d.filoni/+archive/ppa/+packages
It uses dh7 and the new list of packages is:
crystalspace Multiplatform 3D Game Development Kit (binaries)
crystalspace-data Multiplatform 3D Game Development Kit (data files)
crystalspace-doc documentation for Crystal Space
libcrystalspace Multiplatform 3D Game Development Kit
libcrystalspace-dbg Multiplatform 3D Game Development Kit (debugging files)
libcrystalspace-dev Multiplatform 3D Game Development Kit (development files)

It needs only manpages.
