Re: (no subject)

Hi Carlo,

In general Github should work for installing your Prolog packs. (This is
not the case for ClioPatria packs which do require some form of access to a
Git repository that is not (normally) allowed on Github repos.)

There indeed was a problem with the cowspeak repo specifically: the repo
name has to be the exact same as the Prolog pack name. I have changed the
repo name on Github accordingly (case-sensitive, `C` -> `c`):
~~~
[OLD] https://github.com/wouterbeek/Cowspeak.git
[NEW] https://github.com/wouterbeek/cowspeak.git
~~~

PS: Thanks for noting the pack guidelines! I've added the `prolog` subdir
to bring cowspeak in line with them. I don't think the compressed archive
is required, since `pack_install/1` operates on either archived files or
Git repository URIs (but not both).

Cheers!,
Wouter.
