review request: wip/alephone

["Larson, Timothy E." <TELarson%west.com@localhost>]

AlephOne is the open-sourced game engine for playing the Marathon games
that Bungie created in the '90s.  I've worked with the A1 devs to work
out NetBSD-specific kinks, and would like to see this added to pkgsrc.

To test:
1) Build wip/alephone, of course.
2) Get one of the "unimap" scenarios from trilogyrelease.bungie.org -
they are about 2/3 of the way down the page.  
3) Unzip the scenario somewhere - I recommend
/usr/local/share/AlephOne/Scenarios or ~/.alephone/Scenarios, but it
doesn't really matter.
4) Export ALEPHONE_DATA to point at the path of the directory you just
created (e.g. ~/.alephone/Scenarios/Infinity).
5) Run alephone.

You ought to see a few lines of credits in your terminal, then the game
splash screen.  Run with it from there.

Thanks,
Tim
