CrystalSpace (and more) packages

Hi! Sorry for my delay in response about crystalspace packages, I had
problems with my work, etc... So, now my email address is
angelabad at gmail.com. But now I have time again. This packages are for
ubuntu, and need some rework to build in Debian, but its possible.

The problem is the crystalspace version used for this packages. If
somebody want to try make and co-maintain (with Pablo's help)
crystalspace (1.4) packages I can help to switch to debhelper 7
(instead of cdbs). If have some work made in my laptop. If somebody
wants, we can collaborate with this initial version in git or svn
repository.

Best Regards.
