[physfs] Error when compiling PhysicsFS

[Matthias Braun]

In theory the netpanzer autopackage should download a physfs autopackage
if physfs can't be found. Maybe that feature is broken somehow on your
system (or in general). From my knowledge SuSE has packages for physfs
which should be prefered. But in each case there's also an autopackage
of physfs which you can find here (look in the Support section)
