Workflow for mod installation

Rough workflow

1. simod init (run this only once): creates the database and fills it using data from the Infinity Engine files (key/bif and existing override files).
2. simod add *target* (run this one for each mod component): installs a mod component by running the mod script to modify the database.
3. simod save (run this once the database has been modified): compiles the changes from the database back to the game directory.

See simod --help for (slightly) more details.

Current status

This tool is at the “proof-of-concept” stage.

Since a lot of the infrastructure is still being built, its capabilities are very restricted: it can only access and edit game items.
