source-engine launcher improvements

in csgo and new tf2 instead if hl2.exe we have gamename.exe. these games didn't require the -game parameter to launch, so i'm asking is it possible to make double clicking hl2_launcher.exe directly launch the game (--build-games= would also change the launcher to default not to hl2 folder but to build game folder).

so you think it can change the code according to a fucking console argument?

are you stupid? at waf level add a preprocessor definition to set the default game. not that hard.
