Well, it's been forever since the last time I tried installing this game on a
Windows machine, so I may be losing my memory, but I don't recall ever having
this sort of problem back then.  (And the game does still hit the CD on Wine,
even after copying over the map files.)  Something odd must be going on
somewhere.

But yeah, I agree that it's a minor enough hurdle that pretty much any user
should be able to deal with it.  (I've already put a note in the Crossover
Tips&Tricks file for the game...)
