Adaption of flavios fglrx packages for Ubuntu x86_64 version

Just for those interested:
For quite a long time (about four months) I was unable to play my
favorite game, Neverwinter Nights, under Linux. Though I had installed
the appropiate ATI drivers and fgl_glxgears was working fine, I had no
3d acceleration in 32 bit compatibility mode which Neverwinter Nights
needs.
After fiddling around for some time, I found the flaw in the 32bit
version of the ATI provided libGL.so.1.0. This library needs a path
patch as well as the 64bit version. Furthermore, I use Ubuntu, which is
based on Debian but apparently not identical. Where Debian
uses /emul/ia32-linux/... for the 32bit compatibility libs, Ubuntu
uses /lib32, /usr/lib32 and so on.
I am not sure wether this is the right place, but I cannot think of any
better to publish my work.
I adapted the package build rules for the amd64 architecture to the
needs of Ubuntu 5.0.4 Hoary. The following patch is needed for this.
Explanations on what I have done to the original fglrx-installer can be
found in debian/changelog and my additional comments in debian/rules.

Just my 2 cent.
