Last time I tried, there was at least one instance of a makefile explicitly
setting BINGRP (/usr/src/games/dm/Makefile), which broke non-root 'make
buildworld' for me.  I suppose adding yourself to the 'games' group isn't a
very big risk. [this also isn't very hard to "fix", but the obvious fix breaks
the reason it's there in the first place].
