I think we are inviting doom by attempting to come up with a works for everyone
solution.  Consider the alternatives:

a) We don't do this, and install them in examples or whatever, meaning all
users, have to copy them manually to enable them.

b) we do do this, and you only have to copy the files manually on the NFS
clients that want to run the service.  The win with b is that *most* users
don't play NFS games, and will benefit from this.  Those that do, are no worse
off than if we picked A in the first place.
