POTENTIAL FIX: games/Nanosaur

Hello- 

I take MAINTAINER for the games/nanosaur port for OpenBSD.

Someone I know who runs FreeBSD tried to run the FreeBSD port of the
same software, but it doesn't seem to exit cleanly, and fails to create
a .core dump.

https://www.freshports.org/games/Nanosaur/

It doesn't look like the FreeBSD port patches the src/Boot.cpp file like I
did that fixes this core dumping issue over on OpenBSD.

Instead, the porter wrote a wrapper script, (ew, yucky):

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/games/Nanosaur/files/Nanosaur.in

Perhaps you guys can rip the patch that I wrote to fix the core dumping
problem?

https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/ports/games/nanosaur/patches/patch-src_Boot_cpp

All I want is the ultimate portability of this great game. Just a tip.

The patch for src/Boot.cpp is attached to this mail.

I don't have a FreeBSD box to test on, but in theory, this *should* work.

Cheers!
