prototype shmup with public-domain source and data

[Marcel Unbehaun]

hi!
as the sourcecode
(http://xout.blackened-interactive.com/dump/new/ProtoType_src.zip) for
http://xout.blackened-interactive.com/ProtoType.html
doesn't contain any license, I contacted the author Ron Tuo and asked him,
under which license he distributes both src and datafiles.

He replied (I can paste his original answer if required) that he doesn't
care
and everybody is free to do whatever s/he wants.

On a 2nd email, where asking if it was ok to use src/data under
public-domain license,
he answered "No problem".

So I created an initial gentoo ebuild with tons of patches, which can be
currently found here:
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/gamerlay.git;a=commit;h=4609f89024a286a598d71b47492686d4ed68ea4d

Everything seems to works so far, but the prototype-1.0-hacks "patch"
needs to replaced with a real fix,
as this comments out the functionality to read the game's config files.

I though someone could be interested in this.
If someone manages to fix the remaining hack, it would be great if the
patch or an url could be posted here.
friendly,
Marcel Unbehaun
