How about keeping the old code, both in gamegrid.el and in games that
use it, for non-Posix platforms that don't care about security
(Windows and MS-DOS)?  That would avoid the need to figure out where
to put the score files on systems where ${prefix}/var/games/emacs
cannot be taken for granted (and therefore creating files there at
"make install" time might not succeed).
