Review request: svgalib

[Hans de Goede]

Hi all,

Description:
The svgalib package provides the SVGAlib low-level graphics library
for Linux.  SVGAlib is a library which allows applications to use full
screen graphics on a variety of hardware platforms. Some games and
utilities use SVGAlib for their graphics. For details on
supported chipsets, see man 7 svgalib (when svgalib is installed).

A few attempts for an svgalib package have been done before at 
fedora.us, but they never got enough attention to get through the review 
process, mostly because the current Fedora was forming and taking 
everybodies attention.

Differences from the last try:
- Upstream has reintroduced suid root use in 1.9.20 as an alternative to
   the helper-kernel-module. This allows us to build a sane (kernel
   module free) package of the 1.9 (devel) versions. The 1.4 (stable)
   versions haven't seen an update in ages and don't support most modern
   cards -> Update to the latest upstream devel release 1.9.21 .
- Split the Debian patches in some sane parts, redo against 1.9.21 where
   nescesarry
- Don't patch Makefile.cfg instead just pass the nescesarry options to
   make in %%build and %%install
- Reintroduce %%_smp_mflags, this seems to work fine with 1.9.21

You can find this attempt at:
