Now I'm confused. In the most recent message I saw from cyx, he said that
his original plan never was to merge raw into ScummVM. Do you mean to say
he changed his mind since then? (Curse the language barrier...)

Anyway, now that the initial surprise has subsided I guess it may be up to
cyx, sev and aquadran after all. Can awe and raw be developed in parallel,
without sacrificing the quality of either? And is it a good idea to do so?
I happen to like Out of This World quite a bit, even if I still don't
consider it an adventure game. But even if I didn't, I would still hate to
see awe become an inferior version of raw, just as much as I would hate to
see the development of raw being in any way hampered by awe.

Is there any danger of that happening? I don't know. I hope not. I'm just
describing the worst-case scenarios, as I see them. Basically, what I'm
saying is that if we're going to support Out of This World in ScummVM, we
ought to do it well.
