 Because director was used to make hundreds if not thousands pieces of
 software & games, Its unreasonable to ask someone on the ScummVM team to
 add something to the detection table every time a user finds something
 made in director, it increases the workload on the developers and could
 lead to unintentional harassment (Something I been trying to avoid)

 So, I'm requesting a tool to be made that lets users with little to no
 programming knowledge add Games \ Software to Director Detection Table.
 Simplifying adding titles to the detection table would also help
 developers, allowing them to quickly add games or software to the table
 and get to debugging untested titles with fewer steps needed.

 The Director engine would greatly benefit from a tool like this to do how
 many things were made with it. I would imagine getting the tool running
 would require quite a bit of work, and how the tool get distributed will
 need to be discussed, as the only ones who should be given access to it,
 are those willing to follow the rules.
