Read additional files directly from cue/bin image [GOG] #34

The GOG version of Blood contains a CD image in cue/bin format with music, cutscenes, etc. It will be nice if NBlood could read directly these files from it using libcdio-k2k.

be nice if it could read the cryptic passage episode files too.

If you run the installer in DOSBox, and choose everything, you should be able to run nblood -i cryptic.ini and it'll start up the Cryptic Passage episode.

What would be the easiest is to copy the contents of the movie folder from the CD to NBlood's movie folder using something similar to this: https://github.com/Karlson2k/libcdio-k2k/blob/master/example/C%2B%2B/OO/isofile2.cpp

I don't know if this would be a good enough solution for @nukeykt. Because it is kinda hacky, the beautiful way would be to read the files directly on the fly from the .bin file. But that would require much more code change since currently it wants to load files from the disk, not bytes. Also, the Smacker decoder expects a filename and then it is using BUILD's file opening routines (GRP file system) instead of standard fopen or something.

It is nblood -ini cryptic.ini, just in case somebody gets here.
