What's new in this version:

- Rewrite auto/max cycles algorithm to work better with windows 7, other OSes might benefit as well
- Update 64bit recompiler to work on OSX and Linux
- Several improvements to make the recompilers work with newer compilers and add some workarounds about clang confusing itself
- Fix several variables being the wrong size in the recompiler
- Support absolute 64 bit addressing (DRC:64 bit error messages)
- Zero extend data in dynrec core for LLVM compilation
- Reduce overhead of the Mac version with a lot. Results in a speed increase
- Replace NV_PixelDataRange with the more common ARB_PixelBufferObject extension. Should help with output=opengl

Fix a few problems relating to video capturing:
- Writing out the index too often (slowdown with longer captures)
- Not being aware of when only the refresh rate changed
- Fix call order when bitshifting the return order (VS C /O2 builds)
- Fix sign-extension error in S3 draw funcion, i.e. win3.1 analog clock
- Fix expanddot not caring about the size of the inputbuffer
- Some fixes for the debugger related to starting a program through debug.com
