new port shar file

Telegram desktop client is the official desktop client for Telegram.
This is the Linux 32bit version.

Telegram desktop is actually open sourced. However, to build it, the process is
fairly complex. You need to build a customized, patched Qt, some other patched
libraries, and then build telegram desktop which links with them statically.
Someday I may create a native port for it. At least this Linux version works
well for me in the meanwhile.

The license is GPLv3, but I'm not sure if you can distribute it as a package,
so RESTRICTED is specified.

linux-c6 is not enough for this port, the glibc version is too low.

Telegram loads libraries dynamically, like alsa, pulse, gtk2, and other ones.
This makes it impossible to get the dependencies directly from ldd. This
dependency list is obtained by analyzing the loaded libraries with the app
running.
