Changelog:
- manifest: memory/battery now resides under type at
memory/type/battery
- genius: volatile option changed to battery; auto-disables when not
RAM or RTC type
- higan: added new Emulator::Game class to parse manifests for all
emulated systems consistently
- Super Famicom: board manifest appended to manifest viewer now
- Super Famicom: cartridge class updated to use Emulator::Game objects
- hiro: improve suppression of userland callbacks once
Application::quit() is called
- this fixes a crash in genius when closing the window with a tree
view item selected
My intention is to remove Emulator::Interface::sha256(), as it's not
really useful. They'll be removed from save states as well. I never
bothered validating the SHA256 within them, because that'd be really
annoying for ROM hackers.
I also intend to rename Emulator::Interface::title() to label() instead.
Most everything is still broken. The SNES still needs all the board
definitions updated, all the other cores need to move to using
Emulator::Game.

Updated to compile with all of the new hiro changes. My next step is to
write up hiro API documentation, and move the API from alpha (constantly
changing) to beta (rarely changing), in preparation for the first stable
release (backward-compatible changes only.)
Added "--fullscreen" command-line option. I like this over
a configuration file option. Lets you use the emulator in both modes
without having to modify the config file each time.
Also enhanced the command-line game loading. You can now use any of
these methods:
higan /path/to/game-folder.sfc
higan /path/to/game-folder.sfc/
higan /path/to/game-folder.sfc/program.rom
The idea is to support launchers that insist on loading files only.
Technically, the file can be any name (manifest.bml also works); the
only criteria is that the file actually exists and is a file, and not
a directory. This is a requirement to support the first version (a
directory lacking the trailing / identifier), because I don't want my
nall::string class to query the file system to determine if the string
is an actual existing file or directory for its pathname() / dirname()
functions.
Anyway, every game folder I've made so far has program.rom, and that's
very unlikely to change, so this should be fine.
Now, of course, if you drop a regular "game.sfc" file on the emulator,
it won't even try to load it, unless it's in a folder that ends in .fc,
.sfc, etc. In which case, it'll bail out immediately by being unable to
produce a manifest for what is obviously not really a game folder.

Finally!! Compilation works once again on Windows.
However, it's pretty buggy. Modality isn't really working right, you can
still poke at other windows, but when you select ListView items, they
redraw as empty boxes (need to process WM_DRAWITEM before checking
modality.)
The program crashes when you close it (probably a ruby driver's term()
function, that's what it usually is.)
The Layout::setEnabled(false) call isn't working right, so you get that
annoying chiming sound and cursor movement when mapping keyboard keys to
game inputs.
The column sizing seems off a bit on first display for the Hotkeys tab.
And probably lots more.
