Bug#824130: ITP: libgames-support -- Useful functionality shared among GNOME games

[Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro@gnome.org>]

Hi,

I personally don't want to spend effort renaming this library a second
time, but if you feel strongly about the upstream package name, you
have my approval to take action to rename it. It would need changed in
various places: bugzilla.gnome.org, git.gnome.org, jhbuild, gnome-
continuous. That would indeed be a good excuse to fix the API
versioning. We don't need to request permission from downstreams --
they can rename their packages or not as they please -- but we should
indeed inform distributor-list.

The only dependencies of libgames-support use its pkg-config file, so
the only thing that would need to be done is to just rebuild the
handful of dependent packages. Well, I know Debian renames packages when the soname changes, but RPM has actual .so dependencies, so we don't rename packages for soname changes.
