the project moved to sourceforge and released version 1.13 while Kodi still 
contains a fork of 1.10. I updated my patch kodi beta2 series to use upstream 
1.10 with a kodi-specific patch. The next release of my patch series 
following kodi beta2 will contain libsquish 1.13 as it includes cmake support 
now.

Partly done, kodi beta2 gets the source from code.google.com.

I forgot them but the package got build anyway ;) I will change libsquish to 
cmake when bumping to 1.13.

Thanks for the review!
