Purpose of this utility is to detect most known sound module
format available for the Amiga.
MAIN CHANGES:
- reset-copy-patch bug with KickStart3.1 removed
- forced chipmem allocation improved, 
  "avail" shows now that there is no fastmem,
  however Exotic can use it exclusively...
- change in module formats: 
   o StarTrekker(Packed) added
   o safer ProPacker1.0 detection
   o MortenGrouleff detection optimized/shortened
   o safer NoisePacker1.0-3.0 detection
- bug in smp-command execution removed ("SMP 17","SMP 2f")
- for those disliking ProTracker and Co.:
   o information display on possible PT-like replay code
     after all ripmodes, i.e. every soundformat's replayer
     the module of which has its origin in ProTracker a.s.o.
     will be found...
- cache handling with kickstart1.3 and/or 68010 processor
  improved
- major speed increasements:
   o multisearch mode nearly 10% faster on a 68000 processor
   o all selective rip modes up to 85% faster
    (if you are a 'speedy' just use the pre-defined
     custom1-ripmode, which detects nearly all kinds 
     of modules which are used nowadays)

  to give an idea of this great speed gain:

  ExoticRipper226:

  SearchMode              | Time to scan a Kick3.1 ROM image
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  MultiSearch    ("h 0")  | 19.5 sec.
  FastScan       ("h -1") |  5.5 sec.
  ProTrackerScan ("h 17") |  2.5 sec.

  ExoticRipper225:

  SearchMode              | Time to scan a Kick3.1 ROM image
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  MultiSearch    ("h 0")  | 18.5 sec.
  FastScan       ("h -1") | 16.0 sec.
  ProTrackerScan ("h 17") | 15.0 sec.

  (with my [faked]50mhz 68030 AMIGA2000)

(the slower multisearch with 2.26 is due to some better/safer
 riproutines and to the reorganization of the main-ripcode
 loop necessary for the other speed plus'es)
