I think we should really give a call for testing a try. Of course, in 
case we don't find any testers then there's not much we can do about it. 
However, I would feel better when we (at least try to) find someone. 
Especially since, as I get the situation, so far we didn't have many 
testers for some of the newly supported games. Also, I would like to see 
Indy3+Loom fully tested with the new AdLib output. I didn't really have 
time to test those in-depth, thus I could sleep better when someone can 
make a full playthrough of those two for 1.7.0 before we release it. It 
should hopefully not be too hard to find someone to play these, as they 
should be fairly popular.
