SCI01 pic drawing is disabled in the new graphics code, too, BTW, because
embedded cels' sizes probably aren't as easy to calculate as the old pic
renderer would suggest. I haven't looked into this, though, and won't do
that until after SCI0 runs with the new system (which implies that I have
to /finish/ it first...)

Any other missing stuff?
BTW, what kind of transformations did they do? Something like �->ae?
Does anybody know of any foreign-language SCI01 games? I know of a german
SQ3, but that's about all I've ever heard of. Also, I think that QfG2
includes a katakana->ascii translation table, but I've never heard of a
Japanese SCI game (nor have I seen an appropriate font).

Could you elaborate on this, please? Did the lofsa/lofss semantics change,
or is there a bug somewhere? IIRC, we use as much heap space as they did
while providing more memory...?
