File-duplicates in data files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There are multiple file duplicates in data and track files which expand the 
archive size. They can be replaced with simlinks. OpenSUSE Build Service throws 
error with weight 100 for file duplicates if they are not replaced with 
simlinks at the build time.

You can write a script that does this. We won't change it in the repo, as this 
game is for windows too, and it doesnt have symlinks.

I commited a first version of such a script in dist/symlink-data.sh.

You can call it like this: ./dist/symlink-data.sh <Path to data files>

No idea why i called it .sh, it's a python script. I'll change it to .py 
quickly.

Yes such script exists in the build service. But the volume of the source files 
can be reduced.

OGRE seems to have problems with symlinks, I tried out the script and SR 
doesn't start anymore (OGRE doesnt find a file, which is only there as a 
symlink, but it is definitely valid)

Works well here after removing duplicates with a Build Service macro.

Then I'm closing.
