[needs-packaging] fgrun

Binary package hint: flightgear

Currently running flight gear from the applications menu abruptly starts the game with a plane, airport, and settings predefined. A new user to this highly-acclaimed flightsim would not know how to change these settings from the terminal (or that they even can be changed from the terminal).

fgrun is a graphical front end for flight gear that allows a user to easily change these settings. Screenshots, and a description of this program can be found on the flightgear wiki: http://wiki.flightgear.org/flightgear_wiki/index.php?title=FlightGear_Launch_Control

Edited into a needs-packaging bug, since fgrun isn't provided by the FlightGear project.

Flightgear 1.0 in now in the repositories. Please package this app! This was included in Gutsy's repo, and for usability purposes, should not be removed.
