Bug#228163: (no subject)

[Frank Gevaerts]

The problem seems to be in the handling of Vegas_Strip.rules.dat, which
is a gzipped binary file that is read directly into C structs, without
any byte-order or sizeof(int) considerations. 
I think there are several possible solutions : 
- add lots of ntohl() or bswap() calls to the code (this will fix the
  problem for powerpc, but not for 64bit architectures I think)
- change to an ascii or xml based file format
- regenerate the file for each architecture, and move it to the
  gnome-games package instead of gnome-games-data. This would require
  some kind of non-binary source for this file, which I did not find.
