Re: [freesci-develop] FreeSCI becomes CABAL::SCI

Its a separate front end. Here is a screenshot. Dragging folders on the 
application icon or on the application itself adds the game to the game 
list. Users can select the video and sound server for the specific 
game.
If the game is already setup then dragging the folder on the 
application launches the game immediately. Its really just a launch 
platform.

The more I check into supporting more features in the front end (by 
using the config file settings) the more I really believe the loader 
should be integrated.
I wonder also if its not easier to convert the config file into an XML 
format.
This front end will work for now but I would rather see an integrated 
one as final version.
Once the game loader would be integrated a very simple wrapper could be 
used to just launch freesci with the correct video driver/server.
