Whilst at first I tried to keep the sub-engines as close to the original source they're derived from as possible, this quickly proved impossible. Not only did I have to add in proper C++ namespaces to encapsulate all the code, I also had to do various conversions to change them over from using STL to using ScummVM classes. So don't anticipate that it'll be easy to take any interpreters converted specifically for ScummVM GLK and simply drop them into any other GLK implementations.
