New RSAV loadgame support. Not enabled by default yet.
Saving always saves in both SAV and RSAV format.
To load from the RSAV, hold SHIFT when you load.

We're nearly there!
Are we sure we want to store save games in %APP_DATA% on Windows by
default instead of the game folder? I generally find it annoying when
games do that, even if it might be correct in theory. For example, I
was quite annoyed recently when I realised (on linux, but I'm not
disputing putting saved games in ~/.ohrrpgce) that all versions of the
same game (or even different games with the same filename) share the
same save file.
Plus, I think very few people will know to look in the APP_DATA
directory when they want to access a save file, eg. to copy it to
another computer. I try not to go in there, it's a mess of
human-unfriendly data stores.
For what it's worth, if we're going to store the saves in a central
location, I'd rather they either go in a configurable location, or in
"My Documents\My Games\Ohrrpgce\*"
My documents can be located by calling SHGetSpecialFolderLocation, but
that appears to be rather complicated, so I'll write a wrapper function.
