ANOTHER Exult-inspired engine

[dino]

On the xu4 forums, Gradilla Dragon announced a new Ultima engine - one for Ultima 5, called Nu5 (Neat Ultima 5).

This means that Exult marked the beginning of a series of Ultima engines from 4 to 8 (xu4, Nu5, Nuvie, Exult, Pentagram), all with the same objectives and inspired by Exult (Nu5 claims to be 'inspired' by xu4, but xu4 was in turn inspired by Exult anyway).

I wonder whether all 5 teams could work together to kind of make all the engines into one. I don't mean that they should all merge together and work as one team. I mean that a kind of main menu could be developed to run any of these engines, and people could run any of the engines from it. Just like the Exult main menu where you decide whether you want to play Black Gate or Serpent Isle.

Might be a nice project for someone to do an "Ultima Launcher". I believe these are all separate engines (at least, I know that Pentagram and Exult are), so I don't think they should be combined.

Ye Olde Ultima Launcher
It's meant for the original Ultimas, but I'm sure it could be adapted to work with Exult and the other remakes.
