While discussing the current savegame format, it was brought to my
attention that we currently have this ticket about a proposed new
format.

Unsure of the status, and if we want to go that route or not.
Status - needs more work, but work-in-progress patch and partial
conversion tools already exist. Support for droids, buildings,
effects, etc. is still lacking. I think the way it saves map data is
near optimal in regards to size, and is very flexible for the future.
Saving everything else as .ini is certainly something I'm willing to
discuss in light of better alternatives.
Another possible idea, is stuffing everything into a sql database, and
handle savegames that way (one database file per savegame)
Even map data? Ugh. For everything else - why not.
sidenote: the tagfile stuff should be nuked as well.
The sooner the better. However, it is currently used to same some stuff.
The changes by abomination were a bit overzealous, since in
a72c41aeec0136c86007739a97ccc9ed508c0283,
BOOL was a sizeof(int), and now it is a sizeof(byte), and that is
fubaring the savegame structures that in the past were of sizeof(int)
(4 bytes), and now are sizeof(bool) (1 byte)...
Do we care about breaking SP savegames ?
I've been breaking them in the past for master, so... I guess not.
