I've added generator to pkgsrc (pkgsrc/emulators/generator), but was
unable to test it myself, due to lack of games for it.

I suppose there will still need to be modifications made to the pkgsrc
version, because of this lack of testing. Left as an exercise for the
reader.

The version in pkgsrc at the moment compiles and runs to the point of
being able to bring down menus, etc.

Regards,
Alistair
