Bug#792091: game-data-packager: GPD should check installed engine version first

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: game-data-packager
Version: 41
Severity: normal
Tags: newcomer


A few games (Sfinx, Inherit the earth/German,
Zork Grand Inquisitor, Zork Nemesis)
only work with scummvm (>= 1.8.0).

While this precise release is due soon, GDP should catch
this error early and not at the 'dpkg -i' stage.

Tricky: this has to be done by package, not by game,
as the English version of "Inherit the earth" works
with older scummvm releases.
