emuControlCenter 0.9.8 WIP 03 - 7-Zip support added!

What brings this version?
With this WIP-Versions, emuControlCenter support 7-Zip packed roms! We hope you find this feature helpful.

7-Zip-Support: You can add roms from 7-zip files (Fileextension .7z) to the lists and also can also start them direct from within the 7-zip files. (using the Zip/7-Zip autounpack option) Adding the 7-Zip files is slow, but it works! In the next version, this will be faster for the Rip-Header free platforms

Updated ecc-script pack: Phoenix have made some new ecc-scripts for the new extended ecc-script functions (e.g for winuae for Amiga)

Advanced ecc-scripts available for:
- Atari Jaguar
- Cellphone Java Games
- Commodore Amiga
- Commodore VIC-20
- Nintendo Pokemon Mini
- Sony Pocketstation
- Sony ZiNc ZN-1/ZN-2
