I like it.  "Games" is fine -- didn't somebody or other port FreeCIV to 
cygwin about a year ago?

FWIW, I'm planning to add "ddate" to my cygutils package eventually -- 
it's distributed on Linux systems as part of the "util linux" package 
along with the (already cygutils-assimilated) cal and namei programs, 
among others.  ddate is the "Druel Discordian Date" program --

"Today is Sweetmorn, the 42nd of Bureaucracy, 3161." etc.
