TaskMule apparently said,on my timestamp of 5/02/2005 5:57 AM:

Try removing a screw in the top hinge and replace it with a 3 inch screw
that will go into the stud behing the jamb. Be sure the screw head is sized
to sit flat in the countersink. If the door is very heavy add another 3 "
screw.
Other than this your #1 suggestion would be the way to go, as long as the
door won't bind at the hinge if you let it in too much.

Just found out a bit more info on this.

This type of hinge is called locally
"parliament hinges"

Comes from them being used in traditional govt house
doors to allow them to open to the outside all the
way against the wall.

And I just found alternative ones made of brass,
much heavier duty than the rubbish the builder left here.
These are called "broad butt hinges" and are used for boat
doors and other heavy duty uses.

So I'm getting the new ones as well, besides realigning
the doors.

Ah, the joys of incompetent builders...
