Directories:

• runtime will contain a python runtime

Files

• gui.py will contain the GUI (Wow! Really?). The GUI will be accessed by main.py
• mchandler.py will be the launcher library. This time, it will not be a runnable hybrid library

• cfghandler.py will deal with config files
• yggdrasil.py is a nearly feature-complete Minecraft authentication library
