Will Andrews 3c1a819029 Update to 0.37b5.2. Can't find extras tarball so people will need to
install those themselves now.  MAINTAINER changed to someone who said he'd
keep the port up to date.  Add sed regex to replace patch-aa to extend
the port's life.  At least, now portlint doesn't whine so much..

XMAME is an arcade game machine emulator for UNIX/X11. It will emulate
the hardware, video, sound, and other services, of many classic arcade
game machines.
As of this release, XMAME supports an incredible 2073 arcade games, and
the number grows every day! A partial list of the (more popular and
well-known) games currently supported by this emulator include:
PacMan, Ms. PacMan, Jr. PacMan, Super PacMan, Dig Dug, Star Trek, Galaga,
Space Invaders, Tempest, Frogger, Mr. Do!, Battle Zone, Missile Command,
Gyruss, Kangaroo, Moon Patrol, Phoenix, Q*Bert, Rally X, Robotron,
Star Wars, Zaxxon, Bubble Bobble, Snow Bros, ... you get the idea.
To run these games, however, you will need images of the ROM chips that
are used on these games. If you actually have one of these games (or the
motherboard to one of them), and access to a ROM burner, it is a fairly
trivial process to make ROM image files for use with XMAME. If you DON'T
have access to a ROM burner, or you don't own one of these video games
(and you are aware of the possible legal ramifications of doing this),
you can obtain ROM images for XMAME on the Net.
