> * Python variants cover versions 3.6 through 3.9. Remove support for 3.6,
> to simplify the port.
> * Add a 'debug' variant.
> * Reduce compilation warnings.
> * Improve abysmally-slow link times: 10+ minutes for release build, up to
> 60 minutes for debug! (Linker option `-no_deduplicate` to the rescue.)

New description:

 Presently, the 0.226 port of Mame has some cleanup opportunities:

 * Superfluous files are installed;
 * Python variants cover versions 3.6 through 3.9; remove support for 3.6;
 * Add a 'debug' variant;
 * Reduce compilation warnings;
 * Improve abysmally-slow link times: 10+ minutes for release build, up to
 60 minutes for debug! (Linker option `-no_deduplicate` to the rescue.)

 And improve the Mame tools:
 * Create soft links in ${prefix}/bin;
 * Prefix executable names with 'mame-', to avoid clashes with system
 components;
 * Install man pages.

 These issue will be fixed when the Mame project releases 0.227, or sooner
 if said release is delayed beyond December 2020.
