Bart's promised to integrate it, once has a spare cycle or two.

It was true, and it's something the Linux folks have taken up, but I think
it's a poor place, in a world where we're studiously trying to avoid
ghettoizing components for no good reason.  Linux compatibility here is
irrelevant.  I just don't see a good reason to put anything under
/usr/games.

Perhaps we can ship by default with a bones file of a player called
"/usr/games".
