About patch (fixes #248)

Albert Gräf requested to merge aggraef/purr-data:about-patch into master

As discussed in #248 (closed). Tested on Linux (Arch) and macOS (Sierra). Here's how it looks like on Linux:

about-linux

Notes:

  • @pd_help didn't work on the Mac for me, so I used @pd-extra/../doc for the local links instead for now. (I think that we should take a look at the expansion of @pd_help some time, I don't think that the current implementation is correct.)

  • I simply added all the cat_thing pngs, but only a small (and constant) subset of those is actually used for the little animation right now. So there's still ample opportunity to beef this up. I'm not much of a graphics artist, so feel free to rework it as you see fit. :)

  • I'm not sure about the status of these included graphics. Did you create them yourself? Then you might want to add a license note there (Creative Commons maybe?). Otherwise, can we freely redistribute them?

  • Rev. 87d85e57 adds some cp commands to makefile.in and makefile.mingw so that the graphics files are installed along with the about patch. I hope that the changes in makefile.mingw will do the job, but as usual I couldn't test there, so it would be nice if you could give it a whirl on Windows (if the about patch comes up empty, then it's most likely due to a goof in the added line in makefile.mingw).
