   * New upstream version
   * Adjusted doc-base format, added index and ID field

   * The sourcecode was repackaged to get rid of the upstream debian
     directory, It is included as debian-orig.tar.gz

     so I added a toga2.ini. They have been MS-Win specific anyway.

     now, so I added a watchfile
