I see letters about bsd-games these days... When I packaged it, I can't say
I fixed all programs to work fine. :)
The software has many suppositions about /usr and those things, and I was
lazy to fix *all*. I made work only those of my interest.

At some point, it even built only for x86_64, and not for i686, or something
like that.

No idea about the best way to deal with the 'games' directory to save score
files. We should agree on some directories. /var/games or so is fine for me, but
maybe someone knows better FHS rules.

Patches welcome!
