RFS: xglk - Glk implementation for the X Window System

[Niko Tyni <ntyni@iki.fi>]

Hi,

this is the third of my seven sponsoring requests for packages related
to Interactive Fiction and the Glk library specification.  I'm posting
them separately for clarity and CCing the corresponding ITP for each
package. Apologies for the number of emails.  Any comments on the packages
are welcome.

The packages more or less depend on one another. See the end of this
mail for a crude dependency graph. All of the packages use cdbs and
libtool, and most use automake as well.

Name: xglk
ITP: #338468

Description: Glk implementation for the X Window System
 This library is an implementation of the Glk user interface specification
 that uses the X Window System, supporting text styles and graphics.
 .
 Glk is a cross-platform, portable user interface library specification.
 It can handle simple graphics but does best at text, which can contain
 formatting and hyper-links. It is targeted primarily for interactive fiction 
 (text adventure) systems.
 .
 The Glk API version implemented by this library is 0.6.1.
