Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe>

[Marshall]

In light of the potential breakage of patched-but-unmodified YR, I think I like Blade's idea of making a true community 1.002 non-mod patch.
including all the graphical assets and ini updates of the UMP into expandmd02.mix, enabling other mods to use such things. Of course, some modders will then want to make 1.001 and 1.002 compatible versions of their mods. This could be handled of course by making the 1.002 community patch have it's own automated installer/uninstaller and modder's can say either 'You must have 1.001' or 'You must have 1.002 - get the 1.002 patch from (website)'

And then there's languages - there's one string gets modified by the UMP, so updating the end users csf is preferable to making multiple versions of the patch.

It could be tricky, and involve a lot of work.

What's everyones thoughts?
