GemRB is a free and open source game engine reimplementation for Infinity Engine games including Baldur’s Gate, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale 1 and more.
The latest release went out recently with version 0.9.2 giving numerous improvements to Planescape: Torment support. The developers mentioned it also has "onfigurable AI speed, improved performance and others. Notably GemRB now also supports PVR(Z) based formats, making content creation easier, most new opcodes/actions/triggers and together with some infrastructural changes, BG2EE games can now be loaded (still not playable though!)".
