Summary: Don't depend on the fglrx package.

Initial Comment:
To my disappointment I learned the hard way EMC2 packages have "fglrx" packages 
as a dependency. This is fine for computers with nVidia graphics, but on 
Computers using ATI, Intel or other graphics, this will make all OpenGL 
operations stop working. Any application trying to use OpenGL, including 
glxgears and EMC2 it's self, will simply segfault.

It should be fine to simply drop this dependency, as EMC2 works without OpenGL 
as well. Actually, I had to use it without OpenGL, as my computer uses Intel 
graphics.

Message:
It appears that a few specific files -- lucid/emc2.4-sim/amd64 2.4.4 and
2.4.5 -- have this incorrect dependency.  The current release, 2.4.6,
doesn't seem to have this problem in any of the binary packages.  We'll
keep an eye out for this in the future, but it shouldn't crop up again as
we have switched to building the packages on virtual machines which should
never have the fglrx package installed at all.

If you believe that this problem is affecting the current 2.4.6 release,
please let us know specifically which package you mean.
