Bug#1044135: openmw: Crosshair, interactive prompts and character creation menus not visible.

[bret curtis]

Hey gang,

the issue is with MyGUI, a known issue, resolved upstream.[1] The problem
is that unless a config release type is defined, it will produce a broken
build. So there are two fixes proposed:

1) rebuild MyGUI 3.4.2 but set the build to: RelWithDebugInfo

2) upload MyGUI 3.4.3 which I've already prepared here:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/mygui

Caveat: 3.4.3 will require a patch for OpenMW 0.48 to support as there are
ABI changes. :(

Could someone recategorize this error as being caused by MyGUI 3.4.2
please? [2]

Cheers,
Bret
