Debian: provide libGDL and gdlmm for GTK-2

[Ichthyostega]

unfortunately the upstream development for libGDL seems to focus on GTK-3 solely. There is last version known to work with GTK-2 (Version 2.30). Moreover, someone has created a C++ wrapper for GDL, which simplifies handling significantly. Our plan was to create/provide a custom debian package for those, to allow installing Lumiera just from DEB for Debian and Ubuntu flavours

[Ichthyostega]

for the 0.ore.02 preveiw-Release, I went the old "gdl-lum" path: I've upgraded the old "gdl-lum" package to use the newer build framework and the most recent release of libGDL still compatible with GTK-2 (which is gdl-2.30). The library name and SONAME is different, so we can use this one as dependency without problems.

Regarding gdlmm, Michael Fisher has done all of the porting work. We have a working branch in GIT whith the Lumiera GTK-GUI ported to gdlmm.

The only TODO (which is my duty) is to create a debian package for that. Unfortunately I have to investigate an learn the build framework for those *mm-Libraries (or figure out a lot of nasty details from scratch). Thats why I haven't gotten around to do anything here

[Ichthyostega]

resolving this as "worksforme" -- basically I reactivated the old "gdl-lum" solution, which is not entirely clean, but helped to define the new 0.pre.02 package. Since I want to go for GTK-3, I tend to accept this situation right now

[Ichthyostega]

please note: the goal of packaging gdlmm has shifted. Attempt to target GTK-3 soon, so the work continues with packaging a recent version of gdlmm and use GDL-3.x. See Ticket #949
