Summary: Gzip cutscene-files/LEC-style talkies

Initial Comment:
You should implent gzip (or compression) support for
cutscene-files as in The Dig and Full Throttle. As for
the moment, the game takes a total of 421 MB with
compressed audio and speech. It would be great if it
were possible if we could reduce this size to about
half, at least.

Another thing, one thing I've hated with the Simon
talkies is that you can't display text and speech at
the same time as in the LEC-talkies.
This would be great, because the speech's got low
volume and sometimes you can't hear what they say. This
could be really annoying, specially when you've got
stuck somewhere.

This would require us to add in compression code. Either
zlib (what you call gzip) or something else. Since ender
expressed his dislike for zlib, that seems to be unlikely.
Maybe we will use LZO for save game compressions, but we
need permission from the author for that and we haven't yet
heard from him.

Assigning this to ender so that he may comment.
