"WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

It builds a talkie version for DOS and ScummVM out of the Special
Edition."

This is implemented as a series of .bat files that calls helper .exe's
(sox.exe, 7z.exe, zlib1.dll) that have linux-equivalent and there's
also a python25.dll and some .pyc files; but I can't find the source.

This could be remade as a G-D-P plugin.
