[DGD] Phantasmal Bundled Version, first release

[Noah Gibbs]

  There's new released Phantasmal code for the first
time in way too long.  There are two first releases
that just went up on SourceForge:

  The Phantasmal Bundled Version.  People complain
that Phantasmal is too difficult to set up and get
running because you have to download two or three
different components, set them up correctly and maybe
even debug the results.  No more!  Now you can
download the Phantasmal Bundled version, run a quick
install script, and have a running MUD within less
than a minute.  Includes DGD 1.2.67 binary for intel
Linux, an appropriate Kernel Library, Phantasmal 0.015
prerelease, and a simple test game setup similar to
what Phantasmal 0.014 shipped.

  The Phantasmal Website Release.  This is the same
stuff you can find from "http://phantasmal.sf.net/",
packaged up into a single useful tarball.  The DGD
documentation, the new Phantasmal Game API docs, the
"Programming the DGD Driver" textbook-in-progress, all
in one convenient package.  Some assembly required for
the HTML version of the API docs -- see the README
file and included Perl script for details.

  Both of these are first releases, so please expect
beta-level quality.  I'll bring the release number of
the bundled release up to 0.015 when it's had a bit
more debugging, and when Phantasmal 0.015 hits
SourceForge.

  With luck, some form of Phantasmal 0.015 will hit
the web site this weekend.  There have been *major*
architectural changes so I'll probably put up at least
one prerelease version as preparation.
