Log message:
* Fixed file-not-found bug on Win32/UNIX
* Enhanced Resource Manager to be able to run without any resource.* files
(just on patches)
* Reduced number of resource dependancies and improved error handling
Right now, we only depend on three files: Any font.*, vocab.997 and
script.000 (of course). vocab.997 contains the selector name table; getting
rid of that would break a number of kernel functions, so getting an
alternative mode to work for that seems like too much work right now.
font.* might be fixed soon, but not right now (it's used for the "About
FreeSCI" menu item).
While patching the resource manager, I realized that this thing is far from
being thread-safe. Calling it directly from a separate thread (sound server
etc.) will quite definitely break something eventually (I'm not even sure
if it's completely thread-safe).
Ignoring this issue will cause rare hard-to-trace bugs in practice.
