dd_rhelp

dd_rhelp allows users to retrieve, quickly and easily, recoverable data from any device with bad sectors. It will copy it using dd_rescue in all the appropriate ways (reverse copy, setting start and stop offset accordingly to previously rescued data) to recover the maximum data possible before spending time on bad sectors. It is straightforward to use, supports ctrl-c at anytime, can resume a job (or standalone dd_rescue job) by parsing the dd_rescue logs, and displays a nice ASCII bar showing rescue progress.

Changes: Some annoying bugs were corrected. Installation is easier. Log file creation is checked for a sane environnement. More and simpler information is displayed. The behavior has been tweaked to avoid creation of too many data chunks, which greatly slowed the execution of dd_rhelp and the recovery process.
