Summary: Haiku OS Platform Support Patch Submission

Initial Comment:
This patch goes a long way to adding Haiku OS support to BZFlag SVN based on the work done by François Revol to Port BZFlag to BeOS in 2004.

On Friday, I successfully ported BZFlag 2.0.12 to Haiku OS  -  the SVN version was much more challenging and the compile still fails due to missing OpenGL functionality in Haiku. The compile does, however get much further than it once did with this patch applied

Applies to SVN as of time of posting.

Patch was created using "svn diff"

Sorry for taking so long to work through this, Phil.. you're right about
being pretty busy recently!  Once I got Haiku up and running to test out
this patch, I got distracted porting a couple other packages.  Met up with
Scott (scottmc) at the mentor summit and got even further distracted down
the porting path.. :)

That said, please just keep pinging to keep it in focus and I do intend to
review and apply this effort as soon as I can unless someone gets to it
first.

The only concern at a glance is making only minimal changes to anything in
src/other and getting any mods their pushed upstream to their respective
authors (since we just bundle their releases).  It's good to get our end
working, but ultimately, we want whatever upstream provides as near
pristine as possible.  Just food for thought if it hadn't been mentioned.

Cheers!

Final patch added. It is about as good as I can get it at this stage.
Providing there are no remaining obvious issues, please consider committing
it to SVN on my behalf.

Thanks!

Probably best not to add this one - I'm still working on it :)
