I'll look into that. I think that should be possible.

The in-game resolution and fullscreen/window is of no matter. We need to build 
the texture atlas for the max gl texture resolution of the graphics card we are 
running on. And of course for the current Widelands version - if the version 
change, graphics might have changed too, so we need to rebuild the atlas. 

There have been many comments on this branch now. Can I merge it? The next 
branch will move the functionality of the binary into Widelands itself, so the 
code will live no, but the binary will go away soon.
