Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 I personally always didn't like making such generic patches, because there
 may be some special case somewhere that gets broken by it. Sierra games
 quite often have special cases somewhere that sometimes even rely on
 certain bugs.

 This not only needs a review (obviously), but also intensive game testing
 for any regressions. LB1 especially is somewhat "open", so testing
 everything is probably not as easy as with other Sierra games.

 If I remember correctly there are also multiple versions of the game. Both
 need to get tested. I'm not sure how many things Sierra changed for the
 platform ports.

 The bugs are way too many to fix them all separately, so in this case
 generic patching makes sense.

 I think I already fixed some situations with specific fixes, those can
 probably get removed after adding this patch.
