I use this extensively in my packages, but I'm not so good with the base
SGML stuff in Debian yet. If I get with the program I will probably
adopt this one.

Again, I still need to get with the picture, this time WRT GTK+ theme engines
in general. ATM I'm treating them like a black box of C code which Just Works

Personally I'd pull this one for next release. Are many people still
using it? It seems patched to the kills and probably not so great. (2.2
just by itself isn't so great too...)

Correct. These are all in 2.4.21, aren't they? I'd pull it

Actually using 'snes9x' by itself once the whole shebang is set up is a

something that sounds like people are interested in

This one kind of shocked me. I sure hope it conflicts with
harden-something. And directfb has mostly superseded it for computers
where you would expect to be able to do things fairly smoothly.

It sucks, IMHO. xemeraldia beats the stuffing out of many tetris
packages, and don't forget crack-attack ;D
