WoodyRE: reimplementing the Woody Woodpecker game engine

WoodyRE reimplements the engine of Woody Woodpecker: Escape from Buzz Buzzard Park, the 2001 PC game. It checks the player's CD against the English 1.00 release and also accepts the Spanish CD and three February 2002 discs. Releases cover Windows, Linux, Android 7.0 or later on 64-bit devices, and an experimental Switch build.
