* Update Standards-Version to 3.7.2 (no changes needed).
* Update to debhelper compatibility mode version 5 (no changes needed).
  * Update versioned build-dependency on debhelper.
* Don't ignore all make clean errors; use "[ ! -f Makefile ] ||" instead of
  the hyphen.
* Make empty binary-indep target, to make lintian happy.
* Remove obsolete DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS checking; we always build with -g
  anyway, and INSTALL_PROGRAM isn't ever used.
* Use nroff escape \[:o] instead of verbatim ISO-8859-1 character ö in the
  man page.
* Switch to quilt for managing patches.
  * Build-depend on quilt (>= 0.40).
  * Make debian/patches/ directory.
  * Include /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make in debian/rules, and depend on patch
    and unpatch targets. Split clean into a dummy clean and a real-clean,
    as unpatch fiddles with the Makefile and we thus want unpatch to run
    after make clean. (Actually, clean needs to patch first, then clean,
    then unpatch. Yes, it's kind of silly.)
  * Split monolithic diff into smaller diffs (and clean up some of them):
    * 01-debian-policy-cflags.diff: Policy-compliant CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS.
    * 02-executable-filename.diff: Call output executable "amoeba".
    * 03-shell-in-makefile.diff: Use $(shell foo) instead of `foo`.
    * 04-install-target.diff: Add an install target to the Makefile.
    * 05-nudge-texcoords.diff: Various "nudges" to texture coordinates to
      avoid gaps. (Note: I've since found out that the notion of "nudging"
      is all wrong and will probably cause some smearing of the texture.
      However, there are so many broken drivers out there, and the problem
      in backgroundhandler.cpp will probably require border texels and other
      ugliness, so I'm leaving it as-is for now.) [minor tidying done]
    * 06-proper-curve-cleaning.diff: Handle the special case "hashtable of
      curves", so that the destructors are called properly. [minor tidying
      done]
    * 07-drop-compiled-vertex-arrays.diff: Don't use compiled vertex arrays
      in twisthandler; I believe this was done in its time to work around a
      bug in the ATI FireGL drivers. Probably fixed now, but I don't have
      the opportunity to check right now, so it's staying for now.
      [minor tidying done]
    * 08-single-point-spline.diff: Handle the special case of a single-point
      spline correctly, without causing Valgrind hits. [minor tidying done]
    * 09-dont-set-gtk-locale.diff: Don't set the (GTK) locale, as it causes
      problems reading the object files depending on LC_CTYPE.
    * 10-xopendisplay.diff: Give NULL instead of 0 to XOpenDisplay (as it
      expects a char *; it's only cosmetic, though), and give a proper error
      message if it fails, instead of crashing. [minor tidying done]
    * 11-friendly-error-messages.diff: Give slightly friendlier messages in
      common, fatal error situations. [minor tidying done]
    * 12-i386-asm.diff: Don't try to use i386 assembler on non-i386
      platforms.
    * 13-libpng-64-bit-fixes.diff: Fix PNG loading issues on systems where
      sizeof(png_uint_32) > sizeof(unsigned int).
    * 14-properly-delete-vfcache.diff: Use delete[] instead of delete on
      vfcache, as it was allocated using new[].
    * 15-fix-pakfile-endianness.diff: Make the packer work regardless of
      system endianness.
    * 16-pakfile-debian-location.diff: Make the packer look for the pakfile
      where the amoeba-data package puts it, instead of in the local
      directory.
    * 17-fix-audio-endianness.diff: Make the audio system work properly
      regardless of system endianness.
    * 18-declare-glxgetprocaddressarb.diff: Manually declare
      glXGetProcAddressARB, as not all OpenGL headers do. [minor tidying
      done]
  * Two patches were dropped from the monolithic diff:
    * The first change caused wglGetProcAddressARB() to be used instead of
      wglGetProcAddress() on Windows, which is irrelevant for Debian.
    * The other change used "static struct" instead of "struct" in the global
      texture array, without any apparent reason.
