Personally I don't see any reason to have sugargame inside Sugar.  We
are few to maintain it so the less code, the better.

Sugargame is a module with only two Python files.  So there is not
much overload.  In Sugar Web we opted to bundle the modules inside
each activity, and many projects are doing the same.  There were long
threads in this mailing list about the pros and cons.

Cheers,
