Alternate assets folder #160

What do you want to see? The ability to specify an "alternate assets folder" for FrEee which the game will fall back on if assets such as graphics are not found.

How would it help players? Players could then link FrEee to their SE4 folders, without having to actually copy all the assets over (the pictures can be multiple gigabytes if you have a lot of shipsets because SE4 uses uncompressed bitmaps).

Alternatives An importer to copy the assets maybe?

Oh, that will be messy. We already load data from a mod and fall back on stock. Now we're adding another entire dimension...
