Scorched 3D and the freealut dep in 5.8 testing

[Joe1962]

Built this in the vm with SOHO 5.8 RC3.9, and the menu item never showed up, no matter what I tried, but that RC had this reported issue anyway, so let me know if the menu item doesn't show up for you, as I am unable to test on another release for the time being.

If anybody can confirm that this works on 5.8 Standard with the older freetype on it, I will fix the dependency version in the package.

Tried on a pristine 5.8 Std. install. Gslapt message:

Excluding scorched3d due to dependency failure
scorched3d: Depends: freetype-2.3.4 >= i486

Ignored and installed anyway. Game ran without any error messages.

Thanks.

I guess the dependency "requirement" is not fixed yet.
