This version is very bad, looks awful, and needs a numeric argument for 
the pause between each block move.
$ ./tetrix 2500
works okay for me, but it should be stated prominently in the docs.
src: time(&int) and all exit() calls needed to be fixed.
needs feature: the pause has to be calculated from the cpu clock, not 
per cmdline argument.

I would vote no.

seems to be better for package inclusion imho.
there are about 20 other tetris clones there, even one with X Windows 
joystick support! (something for harold :)
