Changes: It is now possible to ignore files and directories via wildcards. Lists were provided for storing links to frequently archived directories and files.

In separate mode, a different archive is created for each input. The 'http_proxy' environment variable is now respected while updating. Tests are made for the existence of required external binaries when starting. The position of the main window is now remembered between sessions. MSI and WIM archives are now recognized.
