[Scummvm-devel] "Broken Sword II" vs. "Broken Sword 2"

Hi folks,

I just discovered that we refer to "Broken Sword 2" as such in most  
places, but in a few spots it's "Broken Sword II". THose spots are:

* Source:
** engines/sword2/console.cpp (in a DebugPrintf & a comment)
** backends/platform/PalmOS/Src/launcher/games.h (the game titles are  
given as "Broken Sword I" and "Broken Sword II").
* Wiki
** http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Broken_Sword_2 (note that the  
page title has "2" but the content "II")
** http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Datafiles
** http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Where_to_buy_games

Most other places (in particular, the README, credits.pl and the rest  
of the sword2 engine) use "2" instead of "II".
OTOH, the box art seems to use "II"; the GOG.com re-release uses "2";  
and we use "2" in most places.

This is hardly a major issue, but somewhat annoying nevertheless. Oh,  
and note that for BS1, we have even three variants: "Broken Sword",  
"Broken Sword 1" and "Broken Sword I".

Maybe we can agree on one "standard" and change everything  
accordingly? Note: the engine names & gameids etc. would of course not  
be affected; I am really only talking about the descriptive *names* of  
the games, as used in english texts to refer to them.


Cheers,
Max
