Comment (by criezy):

 Here are some notes:
 > Scummvm reports it's loading windows dlls in linux (!)

 ScummVM actually never loads external plugins, not even on Windows. For
 portability reasons it only uses internal plugins. But indeed the printed
 message could be clearer and currently make it looks like it is loading
 the dll when actually loading the builtin plugin.

 > then crashes

 That was a bug in our implementation of the AGSSpriteFont plugin when
 *not* using the Clifftop Games variant. It is now fixed.

 > scummvm is a bit more relaxed than upstream

 The two projects have a different goal. ScummVM is about portability and
 playing games made with older versions of the engine as well as the
 current one. AGS instead is looking at improving the engine to make new
 games. So they are looking forward while we are looking back.
