International Rally Championship: an x86-to-C native recompilation

ircrecomp statically translates International Rally Championship's RAL.EXE x86 functions into C and compiles a native 64-bit Windows game from the user's CD image. An SDL3 runtime replaces Windows 98 and DirectX 5 interfaces; analysis covers code discovery, relocations and jump tables.
