Quad-Ren package.

Hi, I am the developer of the Quad-Ren graphics engine(www.quad-ren.sourceforge.net), A resolution independent 2D graphics engine designed to work with tiling WM's.

Recently I tried to upload a PKGBUILD for the lib, only to find out that someone else had already uploaded one, I don't mind someone besides me maintaining the package, but the uploaded PKGBUILD is both out of date and doesn't install the PNG->QRDD compiler. Here is my origonal PKGBUILD which does not have these problems.

pkgdesc="Quad-Ren is a resolution independent 2D graphics engine that aims to ease the
 development of bitmap-based applications, primarily games. Applications using
 Quad-Ren will function the same regardless of screen resolution or aspect ratio.
 
 Quad-Ren is programmed in, and usable from C++, with a simple object-oriented API
 and a small, well documented, easy to edit code base.
 
 This package contains the runtime library, header files and support applications
 needed to develop applications with Quad-Ren."

build() {
    #build the sheared lib
    cd "$srcdir/quad-ren-$pkgver"
    ./configure --prefix=/usr \
          --sysconfdir=/etc \
          --localstatedir=/var \
          --disable-static

    make || return 1
    make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install || return 1
    
    #build the support application(s)
    cd support_apps
    make
    mkdir "$pkgdir/usr/bin/"
    mv ./png_qrdd_conv "$pkgdir/usr/bin/"
}

Also, I don't recommend using SVN builds of the lib, unless you are interesed in developing the engine. I frequantly upload uncompleted code which may or may not compile or segfault at runtime.
