Hi Max,

Thanks for your reply. The reason to why it's so unknown is that I've only 
talked about it a bit on IRC.


#1: You have a point there, using mod_rewrite rules to be backwards compatible 
with the old links as well as allowing for the new style is certainly doable. So 
the question then is, do SourceForge support mod_rewrite? Otherwise I could make 
some "fake" PHP-files with the old filenames that just forward you to the new 
page. Though the mod_rewrite solution would be much nicer.


#2: I can't believe I managed to miss out the config.inc file in the tarball.

Get the updated tarball here 
http://web.telia.com/~u85920559/RFC-ScummVM_website_rewrite.tar.bz2 or paste the 
code below to 'include/config.inc'.
