They're generally the largest resources in the cache by far (though some
ANIMATION_FILE resources are about as big).
I still don't know how much benefit there is to resource caching, but some
of it is definitely needed, or the game won't work properly. Oh well, as
long as no one complains about the extra memory usage...

command, would close the global script variables and player object
resources, without reopening them again. This made them fair game for the
resource expiration mechanism. The player object is probably referenced
often enough to stay alive, but the variables died on me pretty quickly,
causing ScummVM to crash.
I've also added a "reslist" debug command to make this sort of things
easier to spot. By default it only lists resources with refCount > 0. Use
"reslist 0" to see all the cached resources as well.

One of the changes, I'm not quite sure about: buildDisplay() used to open
and close the _thisScreen.background_layer_id resource for each layer it
processed. In particular, it used to "release the screen resource before
cacheing the sprites".
I have no idea why, because I can't see any trace of a sprite cache, and I
can't think of any harm in keeping the resource open during the whole
render cycle. The resource is probably loaded into memory already anyway,
though its reference counter may be 0.

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.

Renamed the resource manager's open/close methods openResource() and
closeResource() to avoid confusion. (It was I who originally shortened
their names to open() and close(), but I've changed my mind now.)
Moved more stuff into Sword2Engine.

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.

touches a lot of the code, of course, and adds yet another global variable
(temporarily, I hope), but everything still seems to work.
Knock on wood.
