Added DerKoun's HD mode 7 (up to 2160p), ~100fps boost for fast forwarding,
configurable latency settings for waveOut (please configure this yourself),
filename case insensitivity, and a few other things.

Basically just a project rename, with s/bsnes/higan and the new icon
from lowkee added in.
It won't compile on Windows because I forgot to update the resource.rc
file, and a path transform command isn't working on Windows.
It was really just meant as a starting point, so that v091 WIPs can flow
starting from .00 with the new name (it overshadows bsnes v091, so
publicly speaking this "shouldn't exist" and will probably be deleted
from Google Code when v092 is ready.)

Most notably, this release adds Nintendo DS emulation. The Nintendo DS
module was written entirely by Cydrak, so please give him all of the
credit for it. I for one am extremely grateful to be allowed to use his
module in bsnes.
The Nintendo DS emulator's standalone name is dasShiny. You will need
the Nintendo DS firmware, which I cannot provide, in order to use it. It
also cannot (currently?) detect the save type used by NDS games. As
such, manifest.xml files must be created manually for this purpose. The
long-term plan is to create a database of save types for each game.
Also, you will need an analog input device for the touch screen for now
(joypad axes work well.)
There have also been a lot of changes from my end: a unified
manifest.xml format across all systems, major improvements to SPC7110
emulation, enhancements to RTC emulation, MSU1 enhancements, icons in
the file browser list, improvements to SNES coprocessor memory mapping,
cleanups and improvements in the libraries used to build bsnes, etc.
I've also included kaijuu (which allows launching game folders directly
with bsnes) and purify (which allows opening images that are compressed,
have copier headers, and have wrong extensions); both of which are fully
GUI-based.
This release only loads game folders, not files. Use purify to load ROM
files in bsnes.
Note that this will likely be the last release for a long time, and that
I will probably rename the emulator for the next release, due to how
many additional systems it now supports.

Split apart necdsp: core is now in processor/upd96050 (wish I had
a better name for it, but there's no family name that is maskable.)
I would like to support the uPD7720 in the core as well, just for
completeness' sake, but I'll have to modify the decoder to drop one bit
from each mode.
So ... I'll do that later. Worst part is even if I do, I won't be able
to test it :(
Added all of Cydrak's changes. I also simplified LDMIA/STMIA and
PUSH/POP by merging the outer loops.
Probably infinitesimally slower, but less code is nicer. Maybe GCC
optimization will expand it, who knows.
