Hello ports@

Attached is a port of the newest release of the Doomsday Engine,
which has support to play all the original Doom games and also
Heretic/Hexen support. I originally ported the 'old' stable release
(1.8.6) and submitted to ports@ in 2008, however it seemed not enough
people were really able to test it. it also lacked true unix support,
with me having to provide a 'launch script' of sorts just to keep
it from spraying its output files all over the directory it was
launched from. Additionally, at least since the gcc change on OpenBSD,
my deng 1.8.6 port no-longer builds for me, excellent excuse to try
newer :)

The latest version runs much smoother, and was the first cmake port
I have wrestled with to complete. It properly creates a ~/.deng/
directory for cfgs, savegames, demo files and the like, and also
runs VERY smooth with working sound and midi via timidity (if
installed).

I know this is a 'beta' version but the doomsday team hasn been
making releases under this beta tag for years so it seems like
the logical step. Comments?

tested on i386
