I would recommend that they download the latest version of gnome-games 
with gnome-sudoku from: http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-games/2.17

I don't think it's possible at the moment to create a stand-alone release 
of gnome-sudoku with the current Makefile system. It would be possible to 
backport changes from the version in gnome-games to the sf.net version, 
but I would just suggest that they get download latest gnome-games with 
gnome-sudoku.
