Bring in the 4.4 Lite games directory, modulo man page changes and segregation of the x11 based games. I'm not going to tag the originals with bsd_44_lite and do this in two stages since it's just not worth it for this collection, and I've got directory renames to deal with that way. Bleah.

Using flag
.Fl d Ar device
it is possible to key an external device, like a sidetone generator with
a headset for training purposes, or even your ham radio transceiver. For
the latter, simply connect an NPN transistor to the serial port
.Ar device ,
emitter connected to ground, base connected through a resistor
(few kiloohms) to RTS, collector to the key line of your transceiver
(assuming the transceiver has a positive key supply voltage and is keyed
by grounding the key input line). A capacitor (some nanofarads) between
base and ground is advisable to keep stray RF away, and to supress the
minor glitch that is generated during program startup.
