The latest suggestion on list was to leave directories in place marked
deprecated.
So far i've got a patch to remove them, and i'll put one together
marking them deprecated and referring to /var/lib/games (and friends).
If we go with the 'mark deprecated' approach everything can still keep
behaving the way it was, and migrate over as they see fit.
thanks,
kk
