Actually, Sword25 is quite the same as WME, WME _needs_ zlib (the data packages are
compressed, and will be very silent without Vorbis, a few games might survive intact
without FreeType2 (but those are few and far between), and well Theora is nice
to have too, but quite a few games don't use videos there atleast. (Then again,
those that don't use video, tend to use interlaced PNGs)
