xasteroids is already in the Debian archive, see

Ok.  Send in a patch on this list for review, or if you are certain about
what you are doing, file it as  abuga gainst the package right away.

An up to date binary of xbill is already in the archive (again, see the
above list of packages).  xgalaga is missing though.

Hurd .03 (whatever that is :)  is listed on the list of platforms Mozilla
was successfully build for.  (See mozilla faq)

UCHIYAMA Yasushi did the port in 1998.  So there might be any new issues
since then.  If you can, give it a try!  I am eyeing on it myself, but don't
know when I will have the time, certainly not in the next weeks.

Thanks,
Marcus
