Yeah I'm planingto write up a default_games_build and default_games_install
functions
since for now every game needs to have special configure parameteres...
And that's a good idea as well... The hi-scores imho should be saved in every
game to
users home dir but that's prolly impossible... since some games want to be
multiuser...(no standard for this...)


I'll see what I can do over this weekend before I get into a bday type of
mood...
