Bug#1060452: gweled: depends on unmaintained clutter-1.0 and related libraries

[Daniele Napolitano]

Here the developer of Gweled.

I hope to find the time to port Gweled to newer maintained libraries.
Unfortunately Clutter, a really good 2D accelerated library, got ditched by
GNOME devs without any replacement (no, GSK it's not a replacement).

I will release another version to fix the last undergoing bugs (hope to
land on stable Debian) and then I will try to find a way to continue the
legacy of this pre-2003 game in the Linux ecosystem.

Best regards!
