+and it becomes a single, transparent hierarchical file system.  So archive
+files can be accessed in the same way as you access files directly on a disk,
+and it makes it easy to ship a new archive that will override a previous
+archive on a per-file basis.")

It's intended for video games, so how about (gnu packages game-development)?

I thought that game-development is intended only for the tools that are
useful for developing games, not the ones that are needed at the game
run-time, and that's why (gnu packages games) doesn't include
game-development module.  But if it's OK to use (gnu packages
game-development) in (gnu packages games), I will move physfs there.

Yes, that's fine I think.  I never such a distinction in my mind about
this, but maybe someone else does.

I agree with the suggestion to put in in ‘game-development’.

“File system” (two words.)

Otherwise OK!
