Bug#533715: gens-gs package



Hello, I had a quick look at gens that I'd love to package for wheezy+1 too.

FTR:

> No money, goods, or services may be charged or solicited for Starscream, or

> "Starscream 680x0 emulation library by Neill Corlett

So, that's against DFSG #6, but nothing makes it undistributable in
non-free I believe.
