Test autopackage for Linux users

autopackage issues
We've run into a little problem with the autopackage, this is the problem we've been having with OpenAL. In some older versions of OpenAL ALUT is included in the library, while in the newer versions ALUT is provided by a separate lib (freealut). On my system I'm building against the new AL and freealut, so if you have an older copy of AL the package won't work for you, and you'll have to compile with old_openal=1.

Another issue is that I can't use apg++ on my system (autopackage's compiler which does some magic to make it easier to loosely link) or I'll get the bouncing cars issue. So I'm using g++-3.4 to compile. This probably isn't the best solution for the autopackage.

Finally I think i18n support might be left out of the autopackage for this release to simplify things...

So the autopackage is working on my system (Debian etch), but not on a Gentoo system because portage still doesn't have freealut and the new openal.
