I know, I have a couple of old loki titles, that are a pain to get working.
Just stating a wish. Maybe I should try to find some quiet time to work on
them. Must be possible to force them into working and hack that into a
spell.  Maybe it'd be worth it to ask a bit around http://www.liflg.org/.
They should know the loki installer ;-)

But the games with a free'd engine should be doable. Maybe it would be
possible to make some sort of "meta-script" or something that could make the
data install part easy, and get sorcery to track the files...
