- implemented check for Win32 DLLs with EntryPoint 00h (also fixes rare ASPack/ASProtect crash)
- plus several protection version updates (i.e. Obsidium, MoloBox, PE Compact...)

due the amount of changes the version was raised to v5.2
most of the detection routines were recoded, resulting in faster scanning speed & being more accurate.

we´ve made improvements again in detection of the most common used pc game protections.
SecuROM 7.28 detection is here (older ones also updated and wrong detections fixed),
JoWoods new X-Prot will be detected, CDCops detection was added, ActiveMARK´s
latest version 6 will be recognized, Safedisc routine is able to detect the latest v4.70 games
with removed version and protection level (SDAPI or Safedisc Standard).
Protect DiSC detection is up to date (improved exact version scan) and now also detects
if the protection features are Basic / Pro.

thx to the people who helped with the more advanced features :-)
