This is due to a compiler limitation with Microsoft Visual Studio.
It places all object files in one directory, thus you cannot have two
files with the same name in the same project.

Eg,
   scumm/debug.cpp => release/debug.obj
   simon/debug.cpp => release/debug.obj
     = Rather broken compile :)
