Add manpage wargames(6), contributed by Joey Hess <joeyh@kitenet.net>.
No special formatting used for the movie name for now, following
discussion on tech-userlevel suggesting that at present there's
nothing really appropriate.

Don't use <err.h>. Use ANSI prototypes (no dependance on the __P()
macro). Add new fwrite_be_offt() function which writes out a big-endian
64bit number regards of the size of off_t on the host machine.
Also fix ``bug'' in previous - even though the off_t pointers were
stored big-endian, the individual card lenghs were in host-order. The
cards.pck files are now identical when make on a big- or little-endian
machine.
Now builds a correct cards.pck file on non-NetBSD machines as well
- tested on Ultrix and Solaris (but Solaris needs -lsocket to get
htonl()).

If the dictionary for boggle does not include words beginning with
every letter, add appropriate index lines. Problem reported by Mike
Castle <dalgoda@ix.netcom.com> against the Linux port of the NetBSD games
collection.
Update pom to the third edition of Duffett-Smith's book, and clean it
up somewhat. Change time specification format to similar to that used
by date(1) - taking a command line argument in seconds since the Epoch
is silly. Date parsing based on code from date(1).
Security improvements for games (largely from or inspired by OpenBSD).
Games which run setgid from dm, but don't need to, should drop their
privileges at startup.
Games which have a scorefile should open it at startup, then drop all
privileges leaving just the open writable file descriptor. If the
game can invoke subprocesses, this should be made close-on-exec.
Games with scorefiles should make sure they do not get a file
descriptor < 3. (Otherwise, they could get confused and corrupt the
scorefile when using stdin, stdout or stderr.)
Some old setuid revokes from the days of setuid games change into gid
revokes.
Add `__noreturn__' and `__unused__' attributes where appropriate to
the games.
This merges in all such remaining changes from the Linux port of the
NetBSD games, except in hunt (where substantial changes from OpenBSD
need to be looked at).
Most noreturn attributes were previously added in bin/6144, with some
others that were missed then in bin/8082. Previous `unused'
attributes were covered in bin/6557, bin/8058 and other PRs (all these
PRs have already been handled and closed).
Add use of `const' where appropriate to the games.

Instead of writing out a structure that contains pointers as the header
of the card decks file, just write out the number of cards for each
deck. Also use "off_t" for offsets into the file (that are stored after
the number of cards) instead of "long".
/usr/share/games/cards.pck is now MI.

Don't chown installed files or directories if UNPRIVILEGED is defined.
"make build" should now work as a non-root user (tested on Alpha).
mtree spits out lots of warnings during "make distrib-dirs", but
these are non-fatal.

Fix the part of pr8201 which is IMHO a bug: the error message now goes
to stderr.
The existing error message ("I don't know what xxx means") is
unchanged, as it is stylisticly in keeping with the light-hearted
nature of the program, and is also more likely to be accurate than the
"no such acronym" error message proposed in 8201.
