Kyra... CFG'd!

After some work, I've gotten a good, automatic function detection algorithm implemented in the CFG analysis, which engines can choose to opt-in to. This is perfect for Kyra, as some of these scripts really do require you to look at the control flow to determine where they stop.

The algorithm is really pretty simple: we find any unreachable code that is not already inside a function, and follow the code flow to see where that piece of code ends - and that is then registered as a function. However, it still requierd quite a bit of rewriting to accomplish this properly, so it took a bit longer than I'd planned - but it should be worth it.

Here's a relatively small sample script from the HoF CD demo:


and just for the heck of it, here's a really big script (Warning: full image is 19873x16660 pixels large!):


Now, it's finally time for the code generation part of Kyra. I'd originally planned to finish it Friday, but this took a day longer than planned, so I have a feeling the code generation won't be ready before Saturday - but we'll see. At the very least, I should be able to get it done during the weekend, so I have all of next week to polish the documentation, clean up some of the code, add some small features that would be nice to have - stuff like that.
