* Improved color collision resolution algorithm.

Version 1.0.1.5

* Corrected about box to display correct version :)
Version 1.0.1.3
* Changed bitmap file format from 8-bit to 4-bit. This seems to be the trick for I Author support.
* Added "fixed width" option, as an attempt to keep I Author's muxer from hanging. It turned out that the bitmap format was the solution, so this setting has no specific use.
* Changed bitmap palette to match expected colors when parsing for I Author. This was not required, though.
Version 1.0.1.1
* Added (hopefully) support for I Author.
* Added support for different bitmap resolutions, but the aspect of the fonts is not corrected, for the moment.

* Fixed minor glitches in color assignment for collisions.
* Tweaked to avoid 1 frame subtitles when generating blinking effects/should be worked in a better fashion.
Version 1.0.0.2
* Changed bitmap rendering to use DIBs instead of DDBs. This should allow MaestroSBT to work with most video drivers.
* Added support for up to three simultaneous colors, providing that they belong to different (colliding) subtitle lines. This is done by sacrificing colors for antialias and outline, of course.
* Added "don't clip bitmaps" option, to generate full 720x478 bitmaps (Scenarist apparently needs this).
* Changed bitmap automatic names to be NNNN instead of N, to allow getting the correct sort order in explorer.
