The AGI functionality has been merged into scummvm, the scummvm
in the archive replaces them, so they should be removed.

This appears fairly useless, but probably doesn't hurt.

This has long-standing RC bugs and security problems, it should
be removed. If there's interest in quake2, one of the still-maintained
forks should be packaged.

This should rather be handled by Jon's game-package if a new
quake2 engine is packaged. So a candidate for removal as well.

Should rather be removed, a chess engine, which doesn't detect
check mate situations properly seems fairly useless. Maybe
revisit once it's out of 0.2 status.

Cheers,
