IdTech1Converter|MapInfoTranslator: Synthesize Music definitions from MAPINFO
Doomsday introduces a "song" abstraction to simplify the creation of custom soundtracks and introduce more flexibility for mod authors. Unfortunately, MAPINFO must assume a 1:1 relationship between maps and their configured "song", i.e., music lump name and cd-track num.
Consequently in order to maintain mod compatibility we'll generate a set of new Music definitions with an id naming convention that allows mods using MAPINFO to work alongside mods using DED.
However, this means that if a mod uses MAPINFO - the new Music ids make it incompatible with existing DED custom soundtrack mods. This is a fundamental incompatibility cannot be solved easily.
