If they all have the same copyright as the 3 i386 ones that are currently
compiled in, we can't include them. I asked the author of xanim, and he told
me that he got exclusive permission to distribute them, but he can't pass it
on to me. My attempts to contact someone at radius miserably failed. I think
the way it is now (or will be when i remove dotofiles.tgz from
orig.tar.gz) is as good as it gets.
