No real problems, just warnings, most because of missing prototypes.

I don't want to steal you a package, but if you offer it, I will take it
over. It would be a good starting point, because it is so easy and I can
learn a lot about packaging and programming.
Another thing that bothers me is the copyright. Are there good reasons to
place it in non-free? I think there is, because it uses the sound code from
koules, which uses the sound code from xgalaga, which is shareware/a mix of
different files. I will probably resolve this soon.
Thank you,
Marcus
