[Kde-games-devel] Theming support

[Branan Riley]

I was just listing the ones I could think of. I think as many should
be added as there is time to add, actually.

How about .tar.gz and .zip as 'must have' formats, and add others if
there's time. We can always add them in 4.1 or 4.2 if they don't make
it into 4.0.
