The recently committed (and awesome) openrct2 built correctly,

but cannot currently find the needed language and shader files

for the game and therefore crashes. To make it work, I currently

have to invoke it via a command like

`--openrct-data-path=/gnu/store/<hash>-openrct2-0.1.1/share/openrct2/',

which imho is not optimal.

I dove into the source of openrct, and it seems there are still

some vestiges of the cmake flag we want, namely

ORCT2_RESOURCE_DIR. Sadly, support for configuring this variable

seems to have been removed about 4 months ago.

I opened an issue upstream regarding this[1], but maybe there is

an easy workaround we can use until a fix is hopefully released.

I was thinking of either a phase which calls `wrap-program', or

adding the required flag back via a short snippet.

p.s. Besides these rather small issues, I can confirm that OpenRCT2

works.
