I see that you use a download counter for getting the game.  I maintain a
repository of something called SlackBuilds, which are scripts that make
Slackware packages out of source packages, etc.  Note that we don't actually
offer binary packages, just a way for end users to build them.  With this in
mind, is it okay with you to link directly to the source?
