oh neat, they publish source too, not just the .Z3!

what do you think about a bit of rearrangement to give a framework for
the other games too? e.g. putting this in ports/games/infocom/zork{1,2,3}
and installing to /usr/local/share/infocom? i'll happily add some of
the other games. they have hhgttg, planetfall, deadline, etc.

might be worth mentioning gargoyle (pkg_add garglk) in the readme,
it's a bit prettier than console frotz, and a lot prettier than sfrotz.
