New description:

 == Outline ==
 In order to make Orxonox more attractive to outstanders we need to provide
 some OS/distribution specific mechanisms to install Orxonox.
 We want to be able to distribute Orxonox for the following platforms:
  * Linux:
   * Ubuntu / Debian
   * Gentoo
  * Windows
  * Mac
 == Prerequisits ==
 In order to be able to accomplish distribution we need to fulfill some
 prerequisits:
  * Configuration files location: config files should not (at least on
 linux) be located in the game folder. So we need to change this in our
 game.
  * external libraries: we need to make clear what exactly our dependencies
 are.

 == Ubuntu / Debian ==
 The distribution on these systems will happen by using .deb packages.

 == Gentoo ==
 The package system of Gentoo uses portage ebuilds to distribute
 applications. Someone needs to write an ebuild.

 == Windows ==
 Probably the best method for distribution is to provide either a zip-file
 or a self-executable installer file.
