a normal user cannot install FreeDoko since the Makefile uses the chgrp command

bug was found in the release 0.7.11

a non-root user could install FreeDoko in his home-directory using the following command:
make MAIN_DIRECTORY=~/.local install

but since non-root users cannot use the chgrp command "make install" fails

e.g. the chgrp command in line 356 (Makefile) will fail:
chgrp games $(DESTDIR)$(BIN_DIRECTORY)/FreeDoko

    'make install' works for me. Are you in the group 'games'?
