I like the idea of a global executable, which could simply be wrapped by a game-specific script. For example, the wastesedge executable could be a Python script that uses pkgconfig to find out where the main adonthell executable is installed, then launch it with the requisite flags for Waste's Edge.

Ok, this makes sense.
