 * revise the way "quit" is handled. Maybe add a global variable "g_quit" which
   we set when the application should be quit (e.g. when an EVENT_QUIT is
   received). This is useful if multiple levels of event loops have to be ended

+* add API to query backend for a list of available scalers/screenmodes
+  (that is, a list of user presentable names, and corresponding PROP_SET_GFX_MODE
+  values). This is useful for the options dialog
+* add PROP_GET_GFX_MODE (mirroring PROP_SET_GFX_MODE)
+* consider replacing the PROP_TOGGLE_* properties with GET/SET ones -> 
+  this allows more control over these properties (like, it allows the GUI to
+  display checkboxes for these in the options dialog)
+* gameDetector.cpp is quite messy. Also, it makes providing native GUI front
+  ends for ScummVM unnecessarily cumbersome (think of systems which don't
+  even have a command line, like classic MacOS). It would be nice to better
+  separate the command line parsing from any GUI and also from the storage
+  for the user settings (this ties into my proposed config system changes;
+  ideally, we should be able to drop almost all of the member variables
+  in the game detector, in favor of getting all these directly from the
+  config system).

+Config
+======
+* the config system could stand an overhaul
+* preserve comments in config file somehow
+* add two virtual domains (for command line settings and user overrides);
+  while we currently do something like this already, our implementation is
+  a big ugly hack (no offense meant) and has some cumbersome problems. For
+  example, currently to query a config value, one would have to search up to
+  four domains manually (user override, command line, game specific, global
+  application domain, in that order). Ideally all this should be hidden
+  inside the config system. If you are interested in this, I can elaborate
+* add a way to distinguish if a given key is present at all. That is, it
+  would be nice if one could distinguish between an explicit "fullscreen=false"
+  and the absence of any fullscreen config.
