This release features a small number of changes and additions, but the biggest changes are internal:

It is now possible to change the input-driver at runtime.
The output-driver should now be changed at runtime by the embedded binary "A:!OUTPUT.COM" rather than the (removed) A:!CONSOLE.COM.
A new ability to run shell-commands upon the host machine was added.
- This can be enabled by the A:!HOSTCMD.COM binary at runtime, or the -exec-prefix flag.
A new CLI-flag "-no-embed" was added to disable all embedded binaries.
The fake BDOS and BIOS we embed can now have their addresses changed at runtime via environmental variables ("BDOS_ADDRESS" and "BIOS_ADDRESS" respectively) if there are issues running specific binaries.
