> * Move the scaler code, either to graphics or to backends, no yet

> * Move the fonts to graphics/fonts/
> * Move the SCUMM iMuse code to scumm/imuse/
> * Maybe moving the MIDI stuff in sound/ to a new dir sound/midi/
> * Maybe move common/system.h resp. system.cpp to backends/

In fact this will be a huge work for me :)
