Summary: Suggestion on how to cope with fan-translations

Initial Comment:
Hi ScummVM team,

I have a very simple suggestion on how to cope with 
fan-translations:

Simply check for a file md5.txt or target_md5.txt in 
the game directory.

This file would simply include one string, the md5 of 
the original game, which is the md5sum you would pass 
to target_md5.

So, check for the file target_md5.txt, read the 
string and pass it to target_md5 to detect the game 
properly.

It's simple, it wouldn't require any additional 
attention and it would really be simple to implement 
and maintain.

Now, whaddaya say to my suggestion?

It's so simple, I like it, and it would work. :D

Thanks, Joachim
