2048.cpp should not require user to launch binary from within /opt/local/bin

Description

2048.cpp prints these notes:

$ port notes 2048.cpp
2048.cpp has the following notes:
  If you run 2048 binary from a directory other than /opt/local/bin, it
  is likely that this game fails to save scores. It is expected, since
  upstream code takes a relative path. Wait for any upstream updates.

It is undesirable to force the user to do this. Wouldn't it be simple to create a wrapper script that solves this problem? For example, move the real binary from /opt/local/bin/2048 to /opt/local/libexec/2048.cpp/2048 and put a new shell script at /opt/local/bin/2048 with the following contents:

#!/bin/sh
cd "/opt/local/libexec/2048.cpp"
exec ./2048 "$@"

and adjust the relative paths used in 2048 to have one extra ../?

If there is already an upstream bug report for this problem, it would be useful to include it as a comment in the Portfile above the notes. If there isn't already an upstream bug report, one should be created.
