It's much better to port the games in question to native LibGGI.
Svgalib is nice as a driver for graphic cards without a framebuffer
driver, but mostly useless as an API, as it is highly non-portable
and VGA-centric.
The svgalib-wrapper works well with Quake2 (and Quake, but that is
a non-issue now when the code is GPLed) becuause it has been
carefully tuned for those apps, but for most other apps the SVGAlib
API is simply to different to be emulated in a working way on top
of LibGGI.
