Should now be fixed in git. I had split out detailed information about
the required files for each package into separate files, which don't
need to be loaded until g-d-p starts working on specific packages, but
then forgot to tell the packaging to install them.

That feature could still do with some improvement - some of the *.json
that are loaded for things like --help are still rather large, and it
might be better to install a .zip rather than > 600 smallish files,
after benchmarking whether it's faster compressed or uncompressed - but
it's a start.

(FYI, you can run g-d-p with "make && ./run enemy-territory ..." to use
the version under development without installing it.)
