Guess what's coming ;)

If you can't see it from the picture below...well...it's XML driven header support.



Well...to sum it: It already works pretty well. Since I'm nearly away for holidays, don't expect a release yet. I want to add some more features to the xml structures and want to add xmls for a handful of more systems.

Currently you can already do:

- simple skips
- define tests and rules for start/end offsets
- test offsets for bytesequences
- 'AND' and 'OR' bytesequences at a given offset with a mask and compare the results, so you can test for set bits for example
- invert test results
- test filesizes
- test for power_of_two filesizes
- offsets can be relative to start and/or end of file and/or can be set to EOF
- several tests can be combined (logical AND)
- several rules can be combined (logical OR)

Most of the simple systems can already be handled with that...next things on my to do list are maybe byteorder changes and other operations. Time will tell...guess I release some basic support version and then xml header detector authors should tell me what they additionally need.

*cough* *cough*

And a gigantic "THANK YOU" to Logiqx who came up with the XML concept. Also to Cowering who came up with some info about several headers.
