Fix some 'test' failures when running 'make install'. When shell variables are unexpectedly empty, 'test' gets the wrong number of arguments and becomes unhappy. Logical AND should not be done with 'test EXPR1 -a EXPR2' in such cases, because 'test' logic does not short-circuit. Replace with 'test EXPR1 && test EXPR2'. Shell logic does short-circuit, and if the first test invocation fails, the second will never occur, and will never encounter missing arguments.

line source

This is the source for the Roguelike Gallery's versions of Rogue and other
early roguelike games.

The code was obtained from the Roguelike Restoration Project
(rogue.rogueforge.net).  Modifications have been made mainly for compatibility
with the dgamelaunch online play system.  Some bugs have also been fixed, and
the build process slightly improved.  The essential flavor of a codebase half
as old as stored-program computing machinery remains unchanged.

See the individual games' subdirectories for their documentation.

The games can be played via SSH or the Web at rlgallery.org.
