To get sdl support, debian needs the jedi-sdl package

I have packaged the jedi-sdl package, and it is ready for sponsoring
[1]. It's lintian pedantic and warning free (except for upstream
including pre-compiled binaries which I don't use.) jedi-sdl is also
only available on i386 since they depend on an
old, non-portable, and deprecated fp-units-i386 unit. I tried to find
an easy replacement, but no luck so far.

I've compiled and played geardhead with SDL support.
You need to build-depend on: jedi-sdl (my new package), libsdl1.2-dev,
libsdl-ttf2.0-dev, and libsdl-image1.2-dev, and then compile:
"fpc arena -dSDLMODE"

You also need to download GearHead/Images from sourceforge and include
them in the gearhead package (as described in GearHead's
documentation)

Let me know if you need anything else.

Regards,
Scott Howard
