Now we're sideways on the subject I have a request:
would it be possible as default to leave games out of the src and put it
somewhere else e.g. pkgsrc. I know it's a leftover from the past but is
there also another special reason to have it in the src tree?
My choice is that in my source tree I don't need it and I don't want it.
A thought?
