[new] VisualBoy Advance 1.7.2

Visualboy Advance is a Gameboy/Gameboy Color/Gameboy Advance emulator for Linux, Windows and BeOS.

And hey, I made a package of it 

I made some adjustments to the default installation:

The configfile would normally be put to /usr/etc/VisualBoyAdvance.cfg    which I find.. ugly!
So for now, I just moved it to /usr/share/visualboy-advance/VisualBoyAdvance.cfg.sample..

If you want to use a configfile, put it to /usr/etc or your home directory or your current working directory when starting vba   or just use commandline options..  Almost everything can be configured at the command line(like video options, savegames, etc.) except from the key mappings..  So if you're happy with the default keymap, you might just want to forego the configuration file..

Instructions are included in the /usr/share/visualboy-advance/README file.

PKGBUILD is to be found here
Package is over here

Enjoy,
