	There are any number of old programs where security was not an
 issue -- and yes, angband is one where such a makeover was only
 performed in the last year. 

	I must confess that my security audits did not include
 angband; I was more concerned with my packages in Debian, and I
 should have paid more attention to angband earlier.
