Notes:

The port was trying to save to a location inside the app bundle which wasn't working, so I modified the code using SDL_GetPrefPath to save games and the config to ~/Library/Application Support/abuse. Turns out you can null out the org and it skips it.

I had skipped this game for a long time since it wasn't available commercially and I didn't want to anger any of the existing developers, especially since there's been precedent set in this area, but on closer inspection the Abuse_1996 project has been distributing the full game for years and the Abuse-SDL project actually claims they were given permission to redistribute it, so I figure it's OK to redistribute it too, seeing as how I'm not profiting off of it or claiming ownership.

If I'm wrong I get a nasty email and I take it down. Done and done.
