Compile
The game's qdgdf framework has no SDL backend upstream, so this port adds SDL2 video and audio
drivers to it (patches/qdgdf-sdl2.patch). The same patch adds a QDGDF_HOME save-directory
override. A second patch adds a --without-readline option to filp
(patches/filp-without-readline.patch), since readline is only used by the debug console.
