Summary: Getting simon2win to start at all

Initial Comment:
When I try to start simon2win, ScummVM complains that
it can't read effects offsets. Since Simon 2 doesn't
have an effects file (apparently voices and effects are
stored together in one single file), it shouldn't even
be trying.

That it does is because fopen_maybe_lowercase() takes
the empty string, prepends _game_path and appends "."
to it, i.e. it's trying to open the game directory as a
file.

This patch will cause fopen_maybe_lowercase() to return
NULL if you try to open NULL or an empty string.

It's still not playable because it will hang pretty
early on, but it's still an improvement. :-)

The patch is made against a July 31 CVS snapshot.
