Step 1 of eliminating the "games" distribution: Move binaries to /usr/bin;
update paths; and include everything in the "base" distribution.
The "games" distribution being optional made sense when there were more
games and we had small disks; but the "games-like" games were moved into
the ports tree a dozen years ago and the remaining "utility-like" games
occupy less than 0.001% of my laptop's small hard drive. Meanwhile every
new user is confronted by the question "do you want games installed" when
they they try to install FreeBSD.
The next steps will be:
2. Removing punch card (bcd, ppt), phase-of-moon (pom), clock (grdc), and
caesar cipher (caesar, rot13) utilities. I intend to keep fortune, factor,
morse, number, primes, and random, since there is evidence that those are
still being used.
3. Merging src/games into src/usr.bin.
This change will not be MFCed.

particular, you can now do something like:
cd `whereis -qs ls`
I'd explicitly like to thank johan for his review which was quite a
bit more than an average review, including sending me a lot of diffs.

Complete rewrite, once again.
This is basically a ``C compilation'' of the former whereis.pl file,
employing the same algorithms, and aiming at being mostly
UI-compatible to the old (legally tainted) 4.3BSD whereis(1). In
comparision, the 4.4BSD-Lite version is just another variant of
which(1) only, where in particular the option to search for source
directories is sorely missing.
While i was at it, i added two more options which i contemplated doing
long since. -x will suppress the run of locate(1) to find sources
that could not be found otherwise, potentially saving a lot of time
(but obviously, risking to not find some sources that are well hidden
in the tree). -q will omit the leading name of the query, so in
particular, you can now do something like:
cd `whereis -qs ls`
