LambdaCube on Hackage at last

We noticed a while ago that due to the easy accessibility of Hackage packages many people still equate LambdaCube with its former incarnation that intended to replicate Ogre3D in Haskell. Today we got around to finally uploading the real thing. To make everything clear, we also marked the old packages as deprecated. The packages to use at the moment are the following:

• lambdacube-core: the library itself, which still depends on OpenGLRaw;
• lambdacube-samples: sample code for the new library.

Note that this update is somewhat of a hasty response to deprecate the old engine. The current structure is by no means final; firstly, we’re working on separating the OpenGL specific parts from the core and splitting the package in two, which would later allow us or others to create different back-ends for LambdaCube. Also, we’re going to upload the Stunts and Quake 3 demos built on the new engine in the near future.
