Try grabbing the version in FreeBSD.  I've merged the OpenBSD changes
over to us, and there have been some other fixes done to make that
work better than OpenBSD (which I haven't had time to verify and merge
to OpenBSD yet).

The concept there is making the games setgid(), and installing
pre-created score files for those games that need that.

Grab the patches before they disappear - we're considering nuking the
games.

Eivind.
