Due to the short time before tagging (and most people on vacation) I 
think we should keep the game anyway, so I will withdrawn my proposal 
for comments and removal of it. We should have tested all games more 
throughly before release imo, but this is something we can do for 4.0.1 
as part of a more "formal" release procedure. The problem is that we 
have many, many games, and they have changed a lot during the past year.

I fixed what I could in Kolf yesterday night, the intro screen is 
correct right now, and the unused menu actions removed. The fact is: 
without someone *gently* poking people, there is no reason to believe 
what we could not fix in 1 year will be solved in 3-4 weeks, for 4.0.1. 
But we can be optimistic. And we will get more users (with bug reports) 
after 4.0 is out.

In the case of Kolf specifically, it now appears to be in similar (or 
better) shape compared with the version we ship in 3.x, and this is good 
enough for me.
