 The frobtads port, as it stands, is incapable of playing TADS 3 game files
 (at least on my computer).

 However, there is a simple fix, which is to add the line:

 {{{ configure.args  CXXFLAGS=\"-fno-strict-aliasing\" }}}

 to the portfile. More details of why this is necessary can be found here:
 http://damnsmalllinux.org/f/topic-3-19-15772-0.html

 Having manually added this line to my portfile, I can now play TADS 3
 games.

 I've not made the change myself, because I have no idea if it will have
 any side effects.
