Heh. I did exactly that a long time ago. See "add_more_variants" in the
ChangeLog-1999 file. That piece of code enabled some common game options
for all games, whatever the game file explicitly did so or not. However,
Stan didn't like the idea, so he removed the code about a year later. He
thought we should fix the real problem (the game files) instead of using
this ugly hack. We never got around to doing that, though.
