SVGAlib suid binaries?

[Joe Drew]

Is it permissable to create binaries, linked against svgalib,
which are setuid/setgid root.root? 
The security paranoid system administrator in me says this is
a big no-no, particularly when what I'm talking about is a game
(lxdoom). But then, when you install lxdoom-svga, it's unusable
except by root until it is setuid by root.
What's the usual way to go about this?
