I just noticed a problem with doing this.

The XML isn't read until after Game.initialize() has been called. We
can't initialize more than one game (or maybe I just don't know how to
uninitialize it).

So, we can't get at the variant XML data in the Options window.

Is there something I'm missing?  Is there an easy way around this?
