Thanks for your feedback.
I had serveral reasons why I started this way:
* I guessed it would be easier to do a split before adding more packages
* Classifying packages in .scm files makes them easier to find
* And it would be a commitment from me to provide these packages
However - of course I have no problem in adding them to games.scm
Stefan.
