+ * added option "program_icon_file" to run-time "special edition" support
+
+2015-04-14
+ * added run-time "special edition" support;
+ this change is especially targeted to the "R'n'D jue" special edition
+ of R'n'D, which changed some defaults at compile-time in previous
+ versions, like:
+ - using a different default artwork set (with fallback artwork for
+ classic artwork not existing in the special edition),
+ - using a different default level set,
+ - using a different program name and user data directory,
+ - starting with different default setup values and
+ - using custom artwork even at a very early stage of startup
+ (like initial fonts and initial loading/busy animation);
+ these changes can now all be accomplished at run-time by using a new
+ program-specific configuration file in the same location and with the
+ same name as the game binary (minus a potential binary file extension
+ ".exe", plus a configuration file extension ".conf", so a binary file
+ "rnd_jue.exe" would be complemented by a new file "rnd_jue.conf" in
+ the same directory);
+ this config file can contain all options found in "setup.conf" plus
+ the following new, internal "special edition" default settings:
+ - program_title (like "R'n'D jue")
+ - program_author (like "Juergen Bonhagen")
+ - program_email (like "jue@artsoft.org")
+ - program_website (like "http://jue.artsoft.org/")
+ - program_copyright (like "(c) 2015 by jue")
+ - program_company (like "A game by jue")
+ - default_graphics_set (like "jue0")
+ - default_sounds_set (like "jue0")
+ - default_music_set (like "jue0")
+ - fallback_graphics_file (like "fallback.png")
+ - fallback_sounds_file (like "fallback.wav")
+ - fallback_music_file (like "fallback.wav")
+ - default_level_series (like "jue_start")
+ - choose_from_top_leveldir ("true" or "false")
+ where the "default" artwork set definitions are used to specify new
+ default artwork that replaces the "classic" artwork sets, while the
+ "fallback" settings specify artwork files used for all artwork files
+ that would exist in the classic artwork sets, but are not defined or
+ cannot be found in the new default artwork set; the program title is
+ used for things like window title, title screens and user data folder
+ name, and the entry point for choosing a level set can be changed
+ from the current level set location to the topmost level tree node
