Developer package: DevPack 1.11

AmiPython 2.3.3 has been removed from the distribution because the author apparently did not agree with the distribution as part of DevPack.

- Reworked controls (see manual).
- Added controls information to pause screen.
- Added cards numbers to the back of face down cards (which helps with matching cards).
- Straightened cards corners, to match better the overall sharp look of graphics.
- Fixed bug that caused the EXTRA JOYSTICK option to be highlighted shortly after returning from the "about" screen.
- Made several optimizations.
- Adapted to and built against latest custom framework (which makes startup and cleanup more robust and has a couple of bugfixes).
- Fixed/improved/added outer antialiasing of graphics on all cards (trying to stay faithful to the original design).
- Touched up a few cards.
- Reduced and partly eliminated bass notes clicking.
- Made various other minor changes.
- Improved manual.
