Can't package for Fedora due to bundled Irrlicht - suggest pushing changes upstream

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I attempted to package OpenNERO for Fedora, but found that OpenNERO uses a 
customized version of Irrlicht.  Fedora policy is that packages generally 
cannot contain bundled libraries, but must use system libraries. Few exceptions 
are granted.

    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries

To a casual glance, it appears that the changes made to Irrlicht may be of 
general use to other Irrlicht users.  Could the method names be changed to more 
generic names (i.e., not containing "Nero"), and the changes pushed upstream to 
the Irrlicht maintainers?

Yeah I think that's a fine idea. We would rather get done with the tournament 
first, but I will keep this in mind!

Also there are some other changes that may need to go in - in particular I am 
noticing that Irrlicht calls an expensive function for all mesh objects *twice* 
- once for collision detection and once for rendering. It seems like this could 
only be done once per frame.
