oneline: a Linux launcher for CDDA
----
At the very least, I desire a means to automatically update my CDDA installation on Linux. Ideally I'd like to mimic the functionality of the Windows launcher.

===== Design =====
We can pull release data from the GitHub API (''https://api.github.com/repos/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/releases''). The relevant fields in the resulting JSON are:

  * ''.[n]'': (n+1)th most recent release
    * ''.name''
    * ''.published_at''
    * ''.tag_name''
    * ''.target_commitish''
    * ''.prerelease''
    * ''.body'' (markdown text)
    * ''.assets[i]''
      * ''.name'' (includes platform and graphics)
      * ''.browser_download_url''
      * ''.content_type''

The general flow could be:

  - pull release endpoint
  - show release info
  - prompt user for release to install (config graphics/sound)
  - download & extract files
  - copy files to install directory
  - adjust symlinks as necessary

Configuration and installation data can be stored under ''~/.config/cllr''.
