 Games and libraries that clearly are for games only (allegro at the
moment) belong to meta-games, but components that could be used by
non-game recipes are less clear. Keep them in meta-games until there
actually is some non-game recipe depending on them forcing their move
to general layers, or introduce them to general layers from the
beginning (or as I've done now, quick and dirty addition to meta-games
with TODO to make proper addition to general layer)?
