OpenMC2: incrementally rewriting Midnight Club 2

OpenMC2 incrementally rewrites Midnight Club 2 while calling the installed game's original binary for functions it has yet to replace. Its Windows source and hooks support a partial reconstruction that runs alongside the original executable; development is abandoned.
