LEGOLAND, portable: a cross-platform port from matching decompiled source

LEGOLAND, portable turns a matching decompilation of the 1999 game into builds for Windows, Linux, Android and browsers. It adds program startup code, replaces the game's assembly routines with C, and substitutes Windows graphics, input, audio and other APIs with SDL3 and supporting libraries. Installation reads game data from the user's CD or disc image.
