beneath-a-steel-sky doesn't need to be compiled, so it can stay in main.
If beneath* were licensed under the GPL it would fail the "preferred
form of modification" requirement, but it's BSD-like license
grants you all the necessary rights to modify, use and distribute. The
fact that the tools which were used when the game was developed no
longer exist is irrelevant, you can still modify it anyway you want.
The same applies to flight-of-the-amazon-queen.
