 * Add a plugin API that allows querying a plugin for the savegames associated with a given game; that is, you pass the name of a target from the config to the plugin, and it returns a list of savegames. How that list would look like exactly is debatable; but it should be possible to extract a user friendly name; a slot ID corresponding to the "-x" command line param; and possibly a filename. Justification: This API would make it possible to directly load savegames from the launcher.<br>This savegame API could return additional (optional) information for each savegame entry: name; creation date; thumbnail screenshot
 * On OSX: Support a plugin build in the bundle target: *.plugin files should be put into ScummVM.app/Contents/PlugIns/; this also means that the loader needs to search in the plugin dir of the active bundle. So use the CF bundle API, inside a #ifdef MACOSX block.
-* Replace DetectedGame by a 'map' containing essentially the same data that the config file would contain -- i.e. gameid, description, language, platform; but also any further data, like e.g. basename, target_md5, or *anything* the engine deems important. -> far more flexible, and helps to simplify the launcher code, too.
 * Make DetectedGame::updateDesc a normal function, not a member function.
 * Allow static and dynamic plugins to be used at the same time. I.e. make it possible to build some plugins statically, and some dynamically.
