ADD: Check extended boot block checksum

FIX: Small bug in SSV2 space search routine that could cause an exception

v0.97

ADD: Ability to perform SSV1 method on earlier AMI BIOSes (core v6 and v7)

FIX: Clarify some options
FIX: Will now automatically repair AMIMMWIN checksum damage (means AMIMMWIN can be used on BIOSes with $512 in bootblock)

FIX: Sometimes SLIC was not inserted for dynamic method

v0.993

ADD: Option to always shrink 1B (ie. for SSV1/3 or dynamic and not just SSV2) - Note if used in conjunction with the Use Extra Space option 
     this will alter the appearance of the POST screen and also interfere with EZFlash when flashing a new BIOS - you can still use AFUDOS).
     This is really an experimental feature for the odd BIOS that cannot fit a normal SSV2 or 3 mod.

FIX: Automated MMTool is now the default option for SSV1, SSV3 and Dynamic methods
FIX: Remove unnecessary 8 bit and 32 bit corrections after SLIC in SSV2 method (main BIOS checksum is still checked/corrected)

v0.999

v0.9991

FIX: LHA compression for SSV2 method didn't work in Vista x64. Reverted back to old method using AMIMMWin
