Gabriel Knight 2 spanish subtitles patch files

These will not be needed, subtitle support will be built into ScummVM just like with the other SCI games.
These fan made patches only work as far as I know with specific language versions, and not with all versions.

These warnings show that there are script bugs in these fan made patches.

A couple clarifications:

  1. The attached zip file is quite incomplete and won't work. The Spanish patch set has much more files.
  2. The script warnings are irrelevant, harmless, and in Sierra's own code. Also I fixed them. =)

The subtitle patches, both Spanish and English, are distributed as installers and I found it easiest to just open the exe with 7-Zip and extract the patch directory myself.
