Summary: Links to resource files.

Initial Comment:
This is ment as a more flexible alternative to the
techniques suggested in feature request 650677.
So what about an OS independed link format in ScummVM?
Say if ScummVM could not find a file called track17.ogg
it could look for a file called track17.ogg.link as well.
That link file then would have specified a path (which
could be absolute or relative) to the file ScummVM
actually searched for in just plain ASCII text.

The whole use of it would be of course avoiding storing
equally files several times when using a game in
several languages.

this sounds like a dirty kludge

I assume your filesystem doesn't support symlinks?
