-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The Rhem SE Series (I, II, III, and IV) on Steam give the following
 detection strings when I add them to ScummVM 2.6.0git (current master):

 RHEM SE titles I, II and III can only be installed in English language
 (there's no option at installation time). The user can select another
 language, after installation, when launching the game for the first time
 and seemingly ''never'' again(!) Changing the language from that one-off
 menu does not seem to change the MD5 detection for ScummVM for these
 games. Available languages are English, German, French, Italian, Polish
 and Russian.

 RHEM IV SE is available ''to install'' via Steam in English, German,
 French, Italian and Polish, but the ScummVM detection string does not seem
 to differ for each installation option. There's also a language
 configuration option (again for RHEM IV SE only) from Steam's menu (right
 click on game -> Properties -> Language) but that does not seem to affect
 anything (does not re-install the game to the target language, or change
 the language in-game). ''Language selection is still done at first launch
 of the game'' and available languages are English, German, French,
 Italian, Polish and Russian. So, in the end, RHEM IV language selection is
 identical to the previous titles, despite having an external option to set
 the language of the game.

 Note: For the record, it's tricky to change the language of the games if I
 set it after the first launch of the game. Uninstalling and re-installing
 the game ''will not'' result in offering the choice again to the user.
 On the Steam forums it's suggested to delete the save folder under the
 Roaming application data for the game, and do a "clean restart".
 This seemingly only works for RHEM II and RHEM IV, but not for RHEM I and
 RHEM III (for which I haven't figured how to change the language after
 first launch, as of yet).
 Also, to add to the mess:
  Rhem I and Rhem IV both create folders in the Roaming appdata windows
 folder.
  Rhem II and Rhem III create folders under ''LocalLow\Adobe\Director 12\''
 subpath in appdata.
