Summary: Extrapath doesn't work

Initial Comment:
To begin with, thanks for this most wanted feature :)

There are two problems with the Extrapath option in the 
latest Win32 CVS build (1473K exe file, last update: June 
30, 2004, 12:24 am).

First of all, it simply doesn't work (or I didn't understand 
how it's supposed to work). For example, let's say I 
want to run BS1 from the original CDs: the game target 
is the root of my CD drive, and I point the Extrapath at 
the MP2/OGG video folder on my HD. The game works no 
problem (except for the usual scripts.clu issue), but the 
videos are not played at all like if the folder was not 
recognized. Tried and got the same non-working results 
with BS2 and Indy 4 FM-Towns (in the latter, I point the 
Extrapath at the root of the CD in order for the global 
speech .sou file to work with the English and Japanese 
versions).

Second problem: when I select a path for the Extrapath 
option in the GUI, I quit ScummVM and then I look at the 
resulting modification in my ScummVM.ini file, I can see 
that the Savepath option has been automatically 
modified as well -- it's the same as the path specified in 
Extrapath, instead of my global savepath setting.
