[Scummvm-devel] Lands of Lore

[Oystein Eftevaag]

A simple solution could be to simply add an "extra" empty directory 
under the engines/ folder, and have the configure script go through this 
folder and add any found engines (in subdirectories) to the makefiles. I 
guess there'd be a few needed changes to avoid the hardcoded engine 
entry points from ScummVM itself, but with that out of the way, an 
approach like this would enable anyone to pretty easily make any kind of 
engine they want in an external repository, without forking ScummVM 
itself in the process.
