It's not about standardizing games. It's about defining the minimum set of
common code etc to make code from different Projects interoperable, e.g. so
that game developers could take the CrystalSpace 3D engine, link it to the
(future) PenguinPlay Physics engine and to the ClanLib Sound engine, while
getting Keyboard/Mouse Input via the GAMES Input Interface.
All without tweaking.

So no Standardization on the implementation, but on a specific part of the
interface.
