[Scummvm-devel] SCUMM documentation update

[J.Brown (Ender/Amigo)]

Hmm, all the CGI on all the hosted sites seems to be broken...

Anyway, that aside.. my latest toy is ripping scummvm apart to make it run
Zak256 (and hopefully other .lfl games) before The Zak256 crew does :)

All the graphics stuff and decoding stuff is done... the vm is kind of
mostly working.. so hopefully another week or work - less getting bored
with it :p
