inFamous PC: a PlayStation 3 static recompilation for Windows

inFamous PC builds a native Windows port of the European PlayStation 3 release of inFamous by statically recompiling its PPU and SPU code with ps3recomp. Its installer reads the player's disc, generates the code, applies game-specific patches and compiles the result.
