>Description:
NetHack.. The greatest game to ever run on a machine..

Some notes about this pkg:

This pkg was an experiment for me.. The idea was to build a pkg that had 
different options (which are somewhat destructive to one another).  The other
main goals were to use the same source tree (to conserve build space/sanity)
and allow tty versions to be built, when an X11 interface is not available.

The best part is, this pkg (or group of packages actually) doesn't cause any
build conflicts, and they all share data files.  This allows the user to
actually install all three versions, and they all work just fine. (or pick
just one)

The tarfile referenced in the FIX section, contains all four packages, a
tty version, an X11 version, a qt-X11 version and the data files for the
three binaries.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
spend 2 hours doing X11 and tty, and then spend the next 5 hours of your life
knee deep in meta-patches and vi sessions of patchfiles, losing hair over the
QT version.
