[Scummvm-devel] ATTN. Porters. Changed list of files to include

[Lars Persson]

Hi!
I have just built a version with the latest SVN code and files and put up 
for download. As I dont have a phone right here, I will test that build 
first thing in the morning. The sierra.dic worked fine, so I hopefully 
everything should be ok with the 7k line version also on the device.

Otherwise I think replacing the large pred.dic with the sierra only version, 
should be an option for those devices that do require it.
