* PCSX2 now splits settings into two files: pcsx2-ui.ini and pcsx2-vm.ini. The former is user interface clutter (window positions, confirmation dialogs, etc). The latter is virtual machine settings, speed hacks, game fixes, etc.
* Added support for PORTABLE INSTALLS!! Portable install is currently manually enabled by adding an empty "pcsx2-portable.ini" to the install location of PCSX2. Portable installs should run seamlessly from any flash drive, etc. (and will usually need Admin rights)
* PCSX2 install location and plugins folders are stored in the registry now (unless portable install is enabled, in which case no registry is used).
Notes:
* A button to enable portable installs from within PCSX2 is planned.
* NSIS installer will hopefully be upgraded to allow for a portable install option as well.

* Convert IsoFileFormats.cpp into a class.
* Use wxFile and wxFileInputStream instead of windows/posix specific file functions.
* Added new ScopedAlloc classes, which are very simple dependency-free templates for exception-safe allocations.
* FastFormatString: Improved performance ad fixed an obscure bug.
* Drag&Drop (UI) - Improved the friendliness and responsiveness, so that PCSX2 doesn't end up tying up an explorer window while it prompts the user or issues error messages.

(pxsFmt has been applied to console/logging only for now. Will apply it to more later, once the code is confirmed stable)

* Fixed some minor bugs when processing idle events.
* Plugin Load/Init/Shutdown/Unload are all called from the Main/UI thread again; this is important for plugins that issue popup warning/error messages.
DevNotes:
* Added ScopedPtrMT, a multithread-safe version of ScopedPtr.
* MTGS errors are still not handled as gracefully as they should be; namely the MTGS thread doesn't restart itself (it's on the TODO list).

* Fixed and added better Emulation/System menu updating. Suspend/Resume is more consistent, and Reset grays itself out after being used.
* Entering plugin configurations auto-suspends the emulator.
* Changing plugins in the Configuration PAnel takes effect now without a restart.
* Added preliminary support for an ExtensibleConfirmation Dialog box (contains a sizer you can add content to, and also has an optional "[x] Do not show this again" checkbox).
Bugfixes:
* Added some mutex protection to cdvdNewDiskCB; "just in case."
* Resolved several recursion and deadlock scenarios when (very!) rapidly suspending, resuming, and resetting the emu.
Developments / Code Cleanups:
* Renamed SysCoreThread ExecutionModes: Suspend/Resume are now Opened/Closed (which more accurately reflects the fact they opena nd close the plugins, and helps avoid ambiguity with the "Paused" state).
* Added Exception::ThreadTimedOut, which is now thrown from Semaphore::Wait when recursive wxApp::Yield() calls are detected, and a deadlock occurs (basically cancels the current action which, most of the time, allows for full recovery).
* Major Threading namespace cleanups, documentations, etc.
* Removed wxScopedArray (scopedarray.h) and replaced it with a better implemeneted ScopedArray class.
* Removed toUTF8 class, which I only added a couple weeks ago because I didn't realize wxCharBuffer had an implicit typecast to (char*).
* Implemented more Source/Listener events for Pcsx2App. CoreThread events are sourced properly now, and added SettingsApplied and SettingsLoadSave Sources.

* Rewrote Savestate code, fixed lots of stuff in PersistentThread, and renamed most "Emu"s to "Sys".
* Removed wxScopedPtr and whipped up our own ScopedPtr that doesn't use boost's fail-style function names (and made it more thread-safe).
* Handling exceptions across threads: Added Clone() and Rethrow() methods to BaseException, and added a Rethrow() to PersistentThread.
* Go rid of AppInvoke macros (those were nasty!)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1929 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Borrowed wxScopedPtr from wxWidgets 2.9
* Fixed up first-time startup procedures and folder selection
* Implemented most of the rest of the missing configuration options, and cleaned up some ambiguities regarding bool types and bitfields.
