Why would you need to overhaul? For TF2 for example, can't you "fake the game
name". So load gamedata for "tf2_prerelease" instead of "tf2"?
The problem with using ISteamApps is you'll have to make it run from the
steamcmd dir anyway, otherwise it'll think there's no install there/will have
to validate every file to generate a new manifest in the gamedir.
