Description

We must have some way of supporting binary cracks. Some games work without the need for a crack however for the small number which do we should include a binary diff which can be applied to the version provided with the installer, this may require many MD5 sums of the original files in order to ascertain which revision the original binary is, as CD based installers may ship newer revisions the revision of the crack cannot be relied upon.
