As I tried to say, nethack-falconseye *includes* the "real" nethack
(version 3.4.1, so it's lagging slightly behind).  See my earlier post
how to launch the "real" one instead of the fancy GUI.

As long as a reasonably recent version of the traditional one is bundled
in nethack-falconseye, I think that time would be better spent on
something else.  There should be a new NHFE release out soon, which will
probably satisfy also the "current" part of what you want above.
