Update to 0.8.A:

0.8.A:
NES:  Cleaned up the iNES loading code a bit, and added
support for WRAM on a few mappers that nominally shouldn't
have WRAM, enabled if the battery-backed bit is set in the
iNES header.  Fixes "Family BASIC", and probably
a few bootleg games as well.

NES:  Added partially-broken support for mapper 163.

NES:  Added support for mapper 241.

Fixed string constant-to-(char *) problems in drivers/cheat.cpp

Added setting "osd.state_display_time", to control the
length of time, in milliseconds, the save state/movie
screen is displayed after selecting a save state or movie.

The most recently-saved save state slot will now be colored
differently when selecting a save state slot.
Increased the brightness of non-empty save state slots.
Empty save state slots are now black instead of being
partially transparent.

PC-FX:  Fixed bugs in "Play Audio Track Index" and "Read
Subchannel" MMC commands, fixing the totally broken
cinematic sequences in "Boundary Gate".  There may still
be bugs in these commands that don't cause any known
problems with games, so I will need to run tests on a real
system.

GBA: An error loading the custom colormap file is now
treated as fatal.

Win32:  The German and Russian translation files are now
included in the Win32 precompiled binary distribution
ZIP file.  Note that Mednafen always assumes the locale to
be UTF-8, so the stdio.txt file will need to be
opened with a viewer that can handle UTF-8(though filenames
with non-7-bit-ASCII components will appear fubar).
(I am aware that assuming the locale's character encoding
to always be UTF-8 is a design flaw with
various insidious consequences when the encoding is not
UTF-8).

Updated the Russian translation with the translation done
by rubicon.

Added configure script option "--enable-altivec/--disable-altivec
(default: enabled)" for compiling on
PowerPC architectures where AltiVec is not supported, or
causes problems.  This configure script option is
untested, however.

Input for the virtual device on virtual port N will be
disabled when the buttons on the virtual device on virtual
port N are being configured.  The last button pressed when
in button configuration may still be taken as
virtual device input, however(a fix for this would be too
invasive, and so will be done in the 0.9.x unstable
tree).

PCE:  Added several missing input-related state variables
to save states, fixing several netplay/movie
desynchronization issues under certain situations.

Fixed a bug when creating an SDL source surface, whose
negative effects(clipping rightmost columns) could be
triggered when the "sdl" vdriver setting was used with
certain xscale and yscale settings that would
cause a 1:1 pixel copy operation.

PC-FX:  Improved PSG LFO emulation again(Tyoushin Heiki
Zeroigar uses it for some sound effects, other
games likely use it as well in similar roles).

PCE:  Improved PSG LFO emulation again(Hanii in the Sky,
Juuouki, and Flash Hiders use LFO).

PCE: Altered the Street Fighter 2 autodetection code to be
data-agnostic.  The SF2 mapper will now be enabled for
any ROM images 2MiB and over in size.

Fixed a call to putenv(), to pass a static character array
initialized to a string constant instead of a string
constant directly.

Fixed a few argument descriptions(invoked with the -help
command-line switch) that weren't properly gettextized.

Debugger:  Fixed a bug in the trace log code.  It would
cause the emulator to lock up if the user pressed
        Enter/Return in the prompt popup without any text in the input field.

SMS:  Removed the old unused Z80 emulator code from when
SMS Plus was assimilated.
