Summary: Foreign charsets in V2

Initial Comment:
Please add an option to choose the language of V2 
games, since the characater set wasn't the same for 
every language.

This has already been done for some languages; if you encounter 
version of V2 games for which we don't support the font yet, 
well, we'll need the corresponding .exe file to extract the font / 
prepositions.

Yeah yeah we know that. There is already a global ScummVM option 
for the game language (refer to the README), we just haven't 
implemented that for V2 yet because there are more pressing issues.

Doing this would require us to get the .exe for each language, then 
extracting the font from it. Also verb prepositions ("with", "to", etc.) are 
hardcoded in the .exe, right now we only have them in english, that 
would be needed, too.

Ideally, we hope to add auto-detection of the language, but that's yet 
another step.
