For anyone who's interested:
I wrote en .ebuild (package definition) for gentoo Linux for simutrans 112-1 including pak64, pak128, pak128.Britain, pak64.German and pak128.German (and USE-variables to install the pak's seperatly, see metadata.xml).
Compiles and runs here (from local overlay) under amd64, not tested on x86 and ppc.
Comments are welcome ...
