Bug#639558: playonlinux: version 3.8 no longer supported

Package: playonlinux
Version: 3.8.8-1
Severity: important

When installing I get the following message from the "PlayOnLinux Wizard"...

Sorry, PlayOnMac 2.5 and PlayOnLinux 3.8 are no longer supported.

Please update to 4.0

http://www.playonlinux.com
http://www.playonmac.com

...which makes the current package useless for new PlayOnLinux users.

note: The 4.0.9 .deb at playonlinux.com appears to install and run without 
errors, but the game I tried to install failed when opengl couldn't be found 
(because of the recent mesa, nvidia packaging changes?)
