Download supported games (ScummVM's Glk engine) from http://www.ifarchive.org
and put them into their respective sub directories, depending on the engine
used.

Supported engines:
adrift (v1-4), advsys, agt, alan(2/3), archetype, comprehend (early games),
frotz, glulx(e), hugo, jacl, level9, magnetic, quest (early games),
scott adams, tads, zcode

Unsupported engines:
adrift (v5+), comprehend (later games), quest (later games), quill, twine

- The COMPREHEND engine only features six games.
  Supported are Transylvania [version 1/2], Crimson Crown (Transylvania 2)
  and Oo-Topos.

  Macintosh, PC and Atari-ST versions are supported by ScummVM.
  C64 versions are not, though only Oo-Topos and Transylvania exists for C64.

NB:
- The size of the supported games/data is always growing and will be, as of
  this scripts versions, around 2800 files with roughly 4.5 GB in size so
  make sure to have enough free space in your destination directory.
- Different language versions of games will be downloaded
  (no UTF-8 in game names, they will be "translated" on-the-fly).

Features:
- Expandable script, once more engines get supported, they will be added
- Source directories ("source", "src"), obsolete revisions of games ("old"),
  double data ("original") and unsupported engines/excluded pathes/files
  will be skipped to save space.
- The scripts destination path is adaptable, see "p_destination" variable.
