   the decompressed data of all source files.

 - wszst+wbmgt DIFF: If option --dest is set then all sources are compared
   with the destination.

 - New option: wszst --pdir (`point directory'): Decides if a base directory
   named "." should be created. Modes are: REMOVE, AUTO, FORCE.

szs v0.06a r2540 - 2011-04-27

 - If extracting a SZS, U8 or BRRES archive a file named 'wszst-setup.txt' is
   created. It contains some infos for a following creation.

 - New option --ignore-setup: Ignore setup file 'wszst-setup.txt'.

 - Option --pdir renamed to --pt-dir. --pdir is still allowed.

 - wszst CREATE: Can now create a BRRES file as copy of a directory structure.

 - wbmgt: If creating text BMG files, than unicode escapes "\z{801,hexnum}"
   are written as \u{hexnum}. v0.05a can already scan such unicode escapes.

 - wbmgt: new patch mode "print": create a new text using %s-escapes (like
   print functions) to insert the old one.

 - "wszst EXTRACT" can extract recursive and can decode BMG files on the fly.
   This is controlled by the options --recurse, --decode and --all. All needed
   information for recreation is stored in the setup file 'wszst-setup.txt'.

 - "wszst CREATE" creates a recursive directory structure created by EXTRACT
   using 'wszst-setup.txt' as script. Files will be encoded again.

szs v0.08a r2617 - 2011-05-12

 - Improved support for BRRES sub file versions (more string pointers).

 - wszst EXTRACT --raw: Extract BRRES sub file in raw mode and do not adjust
   string pointers and other offsets.


szs v0.09a r2636 - 2011-05-17
 - New tool: wstrt: Wiimms StaticR Tool: manipulate StaticR files of MKW.

    - It can analyze StaticR files and detects CTGP 4.4. patches and
      modifications of track and arena orders.

    - It can patch StaticR files and modifies the track and arena order.
      So it is possible to move tracks with special features (like snow
      or fog) to other slots.

    - Commands TRACKS and ARENAS show details about tracks and arenas.
      The order may be in StaticR related order.

    - Command FILES shows the track and sound file names of all tracks and
      arenas in machine readable format (not vertically formatted, one space
      to separate columns). The order may be in 'StaticR' related order.

   IMPORTANT: wstrt is EXPERIMENTAL!

 - New option: --tracks=list: This option allow to define a new track order
   for Mario Kart Wii. Tool wstrt uses this option for patching the track
   order. Tools wszst and wbmgt use this to define the relation between Txx
   and real message IDs.

 - New option: --arenas=list: Does the same for arenas as --tracks for tracks.
 

Known bugs:
  - If creating a BRRES the internal name of the sub file is not set to
    the filename. This could be problematic if a sub file was renamed.
