Mupen64Plus supports a single data directory and a single plugin directory in
its configuration, yet we need data and plugin files from a variety of
packages.  The best way to deal with this is to install all packages from
which data and plugin files are needed into one's profile, and point the
configuration there.  Hence, the ui-console package provides propagated inputs
for packages with the most important data and plugin files, and this patch
provides the user instructions on what needs to be done in order to have
Mupen64Plus find the relevant data and plugins.
