MAMEoX v0.70.2b Released!!

MAMEoX v0.70.2b

>> From sourceforge.net:

0.70.2b should increase the number of working games, and should eliminate most of the reports of games working in older versions of MAMEoX that don't work today (keep them coming if you find them though).

The plan right now is to do some testing over the weekend and release on Monday. If anybody has the inclination, please grab the latest off of CVS and let me know if you see problems.

Changes:
Version 0.70.2b

Note: I finally figured out exactly why 0.66b went bad.
Everything before and after 0.66b didn't actually
unload any of the driver sections. When 0.66b unloaded
the sections, release mode was compiled w/ String Pooling
enabled. I believe that this allowed code in a given
section to become dependent on the string data in another
section, creating new silent XBE dependencies that could
not be resolved. I've disabled String Pooling, and
everything seems OK now. Make certain that it is never
enabled again.
Note2: It's not just String Pooling, also global optimizations...

-------------------------------------------------------------
- \MAME\src:
- cpuexec.c
- Realized that unloading a section releases all malloc'd
memory back to the heap. Fixed by first loading the CPU
to be used, then unloading all CPU sections. This way
the CPU's that we're using have a refcount of 2, so
they stay resident.

- usrintrf.c
- Simplified section load/unload (merged sections don't
require separate data/code loads

-------------------------------------------------------------
- \MAMEoX\Includes:
- MAMEoX.h
- Upped version number


-------------------------------------------------------------
- \MAMEoX\Sources:
- xbox_JoystickMouse.c
- Put initialization code in a section that is unloaded
as soon as it's completed (for a gain of 50k or so)

- xbox_Main.cpp:
- Reordered LoadDriverSectionByName to be before the
UnloadDriverSections, just in case something was malloc'd
by the section (and for consistency w/ cpuexec.c).
- Put initialization code in a section that is unloaded
as soon as it's completed (for a gain of 50k or so)
- Signed driver.list file to prevent corruption
- Put in code to reboot and dump log when missing fonts

-------------------------------------------------------------
- \MAMEoXLauncher\Sources:

- main.cpp
- Signed driver.list file to prevent corruption
- Put in code to reboot and dump log when missing fonts
- Put in credits and switched over to new splash screen
(thanks goes to r4dius again for the graphics)

- ROMList.cpp
- Signed rom.list file to prevent corruption
- Put in a progress bar for the second half of ROM list
generation
- Changed ROM checking code to use std::find instead of
simple linear search. Should be much faster now (though
it's supposed to be a rare op, so hopefully nobody will
be in a situation to notice )

-------------------------------------------------------------
- \Desectionize.pl
- \Sectionize.pl
- Updated to merge data + code sections
