I wasn't going to bother bringing this up in public, but I am one
of the affected maintainers, and I never heard anything about it until
Kris marked games/angband BROKEN.  I'm not placing blame and I haven't
investigated the issue closely, I'm just saying I never got an email
in my inbox about it.

I'm currently investigating the ramifications of installing angband
non-sgid.  I think this requires one or more mode 1777 directories.
Do we have any policies against ports creating such directories?  Should
the user be warned in some way?

Matt
