Utilities and 3rd Party Applications / Re: PyLNP 0.14e-pre1 - Cross-platform launcher with graphics pack patching

I've made some changes which should hopefully be enough to make this work with version 50.x (50.01-50.05 at time of writing; later versions may require more changes).
However, I don't have the ability to do a ton of testing right now, so I'd appreciate if adventurous people are willing to download and try it out. Feel free to test older versions too; they should still be working, but there's always the risk of subtle bugs popping up.
It should be compatible with the builds from Steam, but you will need to copy it into a folder structure like any other DF version, and there is no attempt to detect Steam itself or the version installed through that. Note that baselines are not available for 50.01-50.03, since these were Steam-only releases, which may impact some functionality; use 50.04 or later for best results.
The build can be downloaded from GitHub. It is Windows-only for now, since DF 50.x is itself Windows-only. This is a pre-release build. Please make sure you test thoroughly before including in any packs.
I would also like to hear suggestions and feedback on whether more interface changes are even relevant for 50.x. Now that there is a proper settings interface in DF itself, a lot of the options that used to be in the launcher may not make a whole lot of sense anymore. Indeed, PyLNP *itself* may not make a ton of sense anymore, especially not if most players are going to be using the Steam version from here on.
