[Scummvm-devel] Release plans, once again

[Vincent Hamm]

I know I'm not a acive dev anymore, but here are my 2 cents: Why not
load all the modules in memory in a compressed form at star time and
discard the unused ones before staring the required one after game
detection. It would prevent to need a unload feature and maybe reduce
the fregmentation problem (as all the compressed modules will be
removed from memory at engine start anyway).
