[bf1942] bf1942 packages

[Rick Buford]

I was actually planning to semi-wuss out and see if checkinstall 
wouldn't build a decent rpm. Per the checkinstall docs, it does support 
dpkg, but it's a fairly new feature, so if we have any Debian gurus on 
the list, perhaps they can critique the generated packages.

p.s.
I have submitted a SourceForge project request for "bf-powertools". 
Thanks to whomever suggested the name =)

p.p.s
Ryan,
Is there any objection to repackaging the files available at icculus.org 
in this way? Don't wanna get you in trouble with EA or Dice. If they 
wouldn't want us to repackage, then we can concentrate on just 
assembling the admin tools and documentation.
