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

[Lars Persson]

Hi!
I have now tested on a M600 and these are my findings:
a) No crash (thats the main point I think)
b) Loading the 7K line pred.dic takes around 1,5 minutes.
c) Loading the 3K (Sierra) pred.dic takes around 30 seconds.

So I guess its really room for improvement, but at least it does n't crash 
on target.

Best regards
Lars
