[boot scriptor] CD Shell 2.0.13b released

Hi Everyone!

The next beta of CD Shell is now available.  Hopefully it improves on the
stability of the "noboot" diskemu option introduced in the last beta, but
there's a chance it's now even less stable, since the module was almost
completely rewritten.  You can now emulate two floppies, if you use the
noboot parameter for at least the first one.  The booted floppy always maps
to drive A: (fda).  You can try booting iso files using diskemu, but this
probably won't work for most stuff since it doesn't emulate the ATAPI
interface.  For instance, the eltorito.sys driver for DOS will work
correctly, but the stuff Microsoft uses for their bootable Windows 98 CD's
won't work.  Also tried on a Windows XP image, but setup eventually crashes.
If you don't expect too much, this feature just might be useful to you.  As
for a more robust version that magically works with everything, well that
may never happen.  :)

The other change is that the isolinux module has been updated to version
2.09 of H. Peter Anvin's excellent Linux loader and floppy emulator
(http://syslinux.zytor.com).
