Well, here's the (cleaned-up) patch for the makefile generator at least.
I've sent this upstream, so hopefully it'll compile out of the box soon.

You make it sound so easy...
I've never done GUI programming in C before, nor any programming at all in 
Python or Perl... I've mostly done PHP and Java the last few years. Do you 
have any hints as to where I should start, to make something like this?

Agreed. Not by my hand anyway - I've got better things to spend my time on.

At least one is (pattern), though I'm intending to try to fix that (see below).
Not sure if I want to remove it just because of that though, it seems some 
people have setups that let them right-click (e.g. using literki), and pattern 
was present in oh-puzzles too.

Some other games are more difficult without right-clicking, but still playable.

I'm intending to try to do this modification, and have asked upstream if they'd 
be interested in those changes. Can't promise anything about when though.

Oh, and not so much modify the game itself, but making right-click emulation 
possible in the gtk game frontend, for those games that need it.
