#14790: ULTIMA1: Do not bundle ultima*.dat files with it
----------------------------+--------------------------------------------

Priority:  normal           |  Component:  Engine: Ultima
 Version:                   |   Keywords:  ultima1,ultima.dat,ultima8.dat
    Game:                   |
----------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 As discussed on discord: ultima1 is the only game not marked as 16-bit.
 However even that one requires bundling the huge .dat file because they
 are generic to the ultima engine:

 ifdef ENABLE_ULTIMA
 DIST_FILES_ENGINEDATA+=ultima.dat
 DIST_FILES_ENGINEDATA+=ultima8.dat
 endif

 According to @ccawley2011:

 ''Ultima I does need ultima.dat, but only for two tiny black and white
 bitmaps extracted from the original executable.
 We do have an XBM decoder, so we could potentially use that to embed both
 of them in the executable, avoiding the need for ultima.dat if only Ultima
 1 is enabled.''
