Just a quick follow-up - this sounds minor, I'm sure, but I've been renaming
files a lot more often than you'd think. "Dinner with Andre" and "Dinosaur
Dinnertime" got confused; also several games named simply "escape.***", there
were three or four of those; and in cases where there was a glulx AND a
ZMachine version available ("Balances" and "Beyond" immediately spring to
mind), same name but different extension, I had to rename those as well.
Just letting you know that this has a few more practical implications than it
might appear. You'd think "how likely is it that two games have the same
filename?" The answer is, "way more likely than you'd think."

This is pretty unfortunate. I can pretty easily make it include the extension
as part of the lookup, which will solve part of the problem, but using the
filename as the primary key on which other metadata is looked up is pretty
fundamental to the way Frotz is designed, so I'm not sure I can make it work
when different games have completely identical filenames including extension
without a lot of refactoring.

Understandable. Well, if it includes the extensions, that'll go a BIG way
towards alleviating the issue.
