[aquaria] crash :/

[Mathias Panzenböck]

Ok, this would be a patch that replaces all IngredientData* with std::string. I hope I do the lookup 
of the IngredientData objects right. After all there are two places where IngredientData instances 
can be for some reason.

Are the IngredientData objects supposed to be copyable? Shouldn't these be global objects 
initialized on startup and freed on shutdown? If yes I would write yet another patch that _would_ 
use IngredientData* everywhere, even in all lists that are currently std::vector<IngredientData>. I 
would then add a list where the instances are held (the real owner of the objects) and ensure that 
this list isn't manipulated in a wrong way (only adding of entries and only clear+free on shutdow).
