To elaborate a bit, the engine no longer accesses resource data through
packed structs. Instead it uses memory streams and the READ/WRITE
functions.
If data is mainly read, not written, I have replaced the old struct with a
new one with a read() function to read the whole thing from memory into the
struct's variables, and a write() function to dump the struct's variables
to memory. In fact, most of these write() functions remain unused.
If data is both read and written, I have replaced the struct with a class
with individual get/set functions to replace the old variables. This
manipulates memory directly.
Since I'm fairly sure that these structs are frequently stored as local
variables for a script, all script variables (both local and global) are
stored as little-endian and accessed through the READ/WRITE functions,
rather than being treated as arrays of 32-bit integers.
On a positive note, the functions for doing endian conversion of resources
and save games have been removed, and some general cleanups have been made
to assist in the rewrite.
Initial reports indicate that this patch indeed fixes alignment issues, and
that I have not - surprisingly - broken the game on big-endian platforms.
At least not in any immediately obvious way. And there's still plenty of
time to fix regressions before 0.9.0, too.

Screen. I've also added an unused "splash screen" function that displays
the image that used to be shown by CacheNewCluster() while copying a data
file from CD to hard disk. ScummVM doesn't do that, but it's a nice image
that I wish we could do something useful with, and it's easier to have the
code here for reference than having to dig through old revisions of the
resource manager.

understand the idea was to allow moving objects to take up space in the
scene, thus forcing actors to move around them, or something like that.
However, the number of extra bars/nodes was always zero.

over the past few weeks, except for g_sword2. (Of course, this doesn't
necessarily make the code any prettier, but we can work on that later.)

and removed some of the references to global variables.
At this point I believe everything in the main game engine has been moved
into classes - not necessarily the correct ones, but still... However,
there is some stuff in the driver directory that need to be taken care of
as well.

console from the SCUMM engine. I decided that would be easier than to clean
up the original console code.
Unfortunately there's a bunch of code that I just copied - a pretty lousy
form of code-reusal. It'd be nice if the console could be made part of the
Engine class, or something like that.
Most of the debug commands seem to be working. Some aren't relevant for
ScummVM, and some are a bit obscure so I'm not quite sure what they're
supposed to be doing.

functions we don't have, and since I didn't deem them useful to us. But
feel free to put them back if you like to.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to say that while I deeply admire
how smoothly BS2 handles the transition between stock animations (e.g.
walking) and special-purpose animations, it certainly needs an unholy
amount of code to do so.
