With lot of help from anthk_ #hyperbola I finally found a practical way
to use it, and even without recompiling it, so we can keep ScummVM.

We need 3 repositories:
- https://jxself.org/git/inform.git GPLv3+
- https://jxself.org/git/devours.git AGPLv3+
- https://jxself.org/git/informlib.git (devours submodule) AGPLv3+

Here's how to do it:
> $ git clone https://jxself.org/git/inform.git
> $ cd inform
> $ gcc src/*.c -o inform
> $ git clone --recursive https://jxself.org/git/devours.git
> $ cd devours
> $ sed 's#inform#../inform#g' -i build.sh 
> $ ./build

That creates the devours.z5 file.

We can then start scummvm:
> $ scummvm glk:devours

And we can then choose "add game" and add the game in the current
directory and accept the warnings.

Then pressing start starts the game.

Denis.
