It is used to help debug heap-related problems under Windows NT/2000/XP, by 
checking for minimal consistency of the heap (check '_heapchk' on MSDN web 
site for more detail). Considering how little it is used in ScummVM, it 
might as well be removed, I have never had checkheap() error triggered 
myself.
