Hi

I was working with Joseph S. Myers who maintains bsd-games and
was able to port most of them.
I had a few problems where it is felt that cygwin should be updated
to handle the situations.  These problems are cygwin specific and
Linux handles them already.

1. I needed err.h and err.c from
  From http://www.canonical.org/~graken/sw/err.h.html
2. I needed include/endian.h
  and  include/bits/endian.h from my linux box.
3. There was no include/ifaddrs.h ... not sure what to do here.
4.  The shell does not handle (?) in case statements
  To get it to work I had to change "(?)" to "?)"
5. LINE_MAX (normally 2048) was undefined
6. brk is not defined
