[Scummvm-devel] BS 1/2 source

[J.Brown (Ender)]

Also, we will be distributing the data files for Beneath a Steel Sky, as
freeware, shortly. Also thanks to our wonderful friends at Revolution :)

This will hopefully happen as soon as I can get an answer on whether
SourceForge is okay with this. I'm pretty sure it's allowed, but better
safe than sorry.

In other news, I'm intrested in peoples opinions regarding what we should
do with BS1/BS2.

I would like to see BS become a ScummVM module, as with our other engines,
but I hear that some of our platforms are already struggling under
limitations of segment sizes and the like.

So I basically two options here:

	* Keep as a seperate CVS module & program, just 'borrowing' the
backends from ScummVM Core (Kinda messy)

	* Implement it as a module. Most platforms will have no problem
with this. Porters with segment limits,etc, can choose to either compile
two binaries (one with say, Scumm + Simon engines, the other with BASS +
BS1/2 engines). Possibly add dynamic module infrastructure for the larger
platforms to allow for on-the-fly engine modules to be loaded/unloaded.

Any options?
