There are several other SDL games built using GCC4 available either as
packages or standalone downloads. The ones done by Michael Oliveira are
generally known for eing "quick and dirty" ports however. Not only they
have problem using the correct libraries, but they also hardcode various
paths (games work only when installed in /boot/common, for example).
It is easier to write haikuporter recipes for these games and include
the proper changes so they work correctly on Haiku than trying to
salvage things from Michael's work. A lot of these games already have a
recipe, but if you see some that are missing, we can have a look and fix
that.
