I could do that, but the C code would still have to match the regex with
data from the table, which is only useful to Windows anyway, so the C code
would still be somehow Windows specific.

If we put separate entries in the XML file, this will make it harder to add
new volume IDs (plenty of places to update), so I'd rather not go that
road. If we build synthetic OsinfoMedia at load time, we're back to having
to store the valid languages somewhere.
