 =Gamedata Changes=
 Gamedata files can now be placed in "gamedata folders," which if they exist, completely override the existence of old files (in that they do not get parsed).
 For example, if SDKTools asks for "sdktools.games", Core will now read <tt>gamedata/sdktools.games/master.games.txt</tt> instead.  This file has a simple format:

		+	Gamedata files can now be placed in "gamedata folders," which if they exist, completely override the existence of old files (in that they do not get parsed).
		+
		+	For example, if SDKTools asks for "sdktools.games", Core will now read <tt>gamedata/sdktools.games/master.games.txt</tt> instead. This file has a simple format:
		+
		+	<pre>"Game Master"
		+	{
		+	"file"
		+	{
		+	"rule1" "value"
		+	}
		+	}</pre>
		+
		+	Each section under the main section is a file name. The file is loaded if all the rules underneath it match. Available rules are:
		+	*"engine" as one of "original", "orangebox", "left4dead", or "darkmessiah"
		+	*"game" as used in normal gamedata files.
		+
		+	This helps minimize the amount of file maintenance and complexity in systems with many gamedata entries across many games.
		+
		+	In addition, there is a "custom" folder underneath new gamedata folders. You can use these to place new files that will get parsed after all other parsing is done. Custom files are read in an undefined order, and are immune from automatic updates.
