Nothing wrong with old. The web page is still there. It works
reasonably well and THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IMAKE.

Well, except for the fact that it
1) did not start (immediate fortify crash because the string buffer was too
short to hold the font name for a debug output)
2) was unplayably fast (imagine what you get when you pass milliseconds to
usleep...)
So in this case the mask was quite adequate.

Adopt package, fix buffer overflow (kinda), bug 442290, and impossible game
speed. Drop to ~arch as we're returning from package mask.
(This wakes some old memories...)
