hi folks!

i've been trying to make our games less insecure, and unfortunately, pre-installed
systems will need to have a little tweak to get various games to work again
afterwards :-(

in src/etc/Makefile under the `distribution' target, various new entries now exist
that are created with the games owner/group.  you need to install all of these files
with the correct modes (group games _write_ being espcially important).  these files
are:

/var/games/atc_scores
/var/games/battlestar.log
/var/games/cfscores
/var/games/cribloo
/var/games/robots_roll
/var/games/rogue.scores
/var/games/saillog
/var/games/snakerawscores
/var/games/snake.log
/var/games/tetris.scores
/var/games/larn/llog12.0
/var/games/larn/lscore12.0
/var/games/larn/playerids

you will also need to fix the files created for hack and phantasia as well:

/var/games/hackdir/perm
/var/games/hackdir/record
/var/games/phantasia/*


all of these files need to be group `games' and writable by group.


please send-pr any problems you see!
