Bug#745081: game-data-packager: add support for full versions of wolf3d and spear of destiny

[esp]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 30
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

The game-data-packager currently seems to only support Wolfenstein 3D v1.4
shareware (7) restricted version. The great open-source port Wolf4SDL however
supports more versions as mentioned in its readme:

 1) Wolfenstein 3D v1.1 full Apogee
 2) Wolfenstein 3D v1.4 full Apogee (not tested)
 3) Wolfenstein 3D v1.4 full GT/ID/Activision
 4) Wolfenstein 3D v1.0 shareware Apogee
 5) Wolfenstein 3D v1.1 shareware Apogee
 6) Wolfenstein 3D v1.2 shareware Apogee
 7) Wolfenstein 3D v1.4 shareware
 8) Spear of Destiny full
 9) Spear of Destiny demo
 10) Spear of Destiny - Mission 2: Return to Danger (not tested)
 11) Spear of Destiny - Mission 3: Ultimate Challenge (not tested)

I have tested Wolf4SDL today with my own games (3) Wolfenstein 3D v1.4 full
GT/ID/Activision and (8) Spear of Destiny full (10) Spear of Destiny - Mission
2: Return to Danger and (11) Spear of Destiny - Mission 3: Ultimate Challenge
and all work perfectly :-) Below the info on how to have it correctly packaged:

Important to know, the original games include all above files in UPPERCASE,
these should all be converted to lower case to have Wolf4sdl correctly load the
files. All files should be packaged to have these installed under
/usr/share/games/wolf3d

Hopefully this will help you all to have game-data-packager also support these
in a near future. Let me know in case something needs to be tested or further
info is required. Thanks!
