The tricky thing about this is that update-game-score.c gets compiled
with different options depending on whether or not we have access to a
shared game directory.
It should be able to check that at run time instead.
That would be much better.
Always use a run-time check rather than a compile-time check, whenever that
is possible.
You should be able to make it stat its own executable and see if it is setuid.
