Certainly! Of course, the boring stuff needs to be finished first...

Well, I guess the switch would override the EV...that's simple enough. What
I'm not sure of is: how to accomplish this with gettext and friends at
runtime. Actually, I don't even know what else is affected by i18n in the
games, other than translated strings. Time to do some reading :)

While we're sort-of on the subject, one thing I'm noticing is that only
--debug-xxx flags are actually handled by libt4k_common; other common things
like --windowed, --nosound and such are all handled separately. Even worse
is that some of the key events, like F10 to switch resolution, are being
handled in 5 or so different places. I think it'd be a good idea to
centralize some of these eventually, too.

Best,
Brendan
