I dropped the extra data package and moved the files straight into
blimps-utils.  Hope this is fine.

Done.

I installed www/ dir into usr/share/doc/blimps-utils/html - please confirm
whether you consider this helpful for users or not.

I hope you are fine with my work.  I guess it will not be invasive
regarding the library because I did not changed anything here.  I just
like to give other users more information by installing hopefully useful
information and testing examples.  Please confirm whether you regard
this is the case or whether you rather prefer to drop the examples and
www/* files from packaging.

Sorry for taking longer than expected.  I'll upload blimps right after
I have your final go.

Kind regards and thanks for preparing the package

     Andreas.
