add "lib" component to scores path

So I was just looking in Fedora's libgnome spec file and noticed a very, very, very old patch from sopwith that somehow slipped through the cracks and never got upstreamed.

It moves the game scores directory to /var/lib/games instead of /var/games
Comment 1 Kjartan Maraas 2010-02-09 08:21:29 UTC 
Isn't this handled by libgames-support in gnome-games thesee days? I think the scores api in libgnome has been de facto deprecated (not used by gnome-games) for ages.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2010-02-09 14:08:25 UTC 
Gnome Games uses its own scores routines now, yes. (And stores the data in $datadir/scores, not $libdir/games.) This code simply isn't deprecated yet because those libgames-support routines aren't in a public library... Independent of that, I don't think changing the location of the files now should be done, since it creates a migration problem.
Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2010-02-09 14:44:16 UTC 
okay, we can let this patch retire with libgnome then in 3.0.
