Bugzilla Bug 80194

Installation of Dosemu-1.2.2-r1 copies the freedos tarball correctly, but due
to a compiletime conigure option, the freedos component does NOT get installed.
This renders the application unusable until the user untars it or uses a
different version of DOS.

To manually fix, as root do
1) cd /usr/share/dosemu
2) tar --strip-path 1 -xzvf dosemu-freedos-bintgz

then dosemu will load correctly.

In the Ebuild file, the configure option specifically inhibits automatic
installation of the freedos tarball. 

src_compile() {
        local myflags="--with-fdtarball=none --sysconfdir=/etc/dosemu/ \
        --with-mandir=/usr/share/man/"

Having --with-fdtarball=none is the culprit here! This option can be removed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-emulation/dosemu-1.2.2-r1
2. try dosemu or xdosemu
Actual Results:  
program abends -- "unable to find /usr/share/freedos/dosemu/kernel.sys" which
is
packaged in the freedos tarball.

Expected Results:  
DOS terminal or xwindow appears

Seems this configure option was added to the r1 release. I'm labelling this as
an enhancement since --with-fdtarball is a valid configure option and there
could be a reason for using it. However, for many users, they would expect
freedos to be installed.

Fixed, thanks. Didn't bump the revision (not really important for ALL people to
recompile and it's still ~x86).
