Summary: Merge ScummVM.exe and ScummVMGL.exe

Initial Comment:
Is there any need to have the OpenGL and the non-
OpenGL version in two executables. It whould make 
more sense to have this merged in one executable file 
(aka scummvm.exe) and then select the OpenGL 
renderer either using a command line parameter 
(scummvm.exe -gl game) or selecting it in the ingame 
gui.

For Windows and MacOS it might make sense, as those always
ship with OpenGL (at least OS X does, I am not fully sure
about Windows). For Linux etc. it's a different thing - not
everybody will want to link against OpenGL if they don't
intend to use it. 
Personally, I never use the OpenGL version, as it doesn't
support the nice scalers.
