Fingolfin & I have been talking about autodetecting: I will be releasing a
patch in the future to add game autodetecting to the main codebase, together
with temporary targets (like when you insert a CD, or other temporary media)
This also includes a message on first ScummVM startup asking you to scan
your drives for you.
