Summary: French SIMON1DOS: wrong text pointers

Initial Comment:
This bug has been seen with the french DOS as well as 
the english TALKIE versions of SIMON1.

It appears that nearly every description from the mouse 
pointer is wrong: for example, when you point your 
mouse on the dog, instead of "The Dog" the game tells 
you "The Rose Wood".

I did further tests, and managed to find the culprit: the 
GAMEPC file (which contains some TEXT that is not in 
the regular TEXT files). For example if I change this 
GAMEPC by any of the ones from the English versions, 
the descriptions are OK.

My idea is that maybe SCUMMVM is using wrong 
pointers for the text, basing all on the ENGLISH 
versions.

I've tested this on the last stable 0.7.0 Win32 version, 
as well as on the last WIN32 0.8.0CVS (Mar 28 2005 
09:54:16).

If it helps, here's the log when launching the game:
