- Implemented the AutoPlay copying code, as I forgot it in my inital release.
- Added a progress bar during compression so that the user won't be wondering what's going on...
- Realized that when a repatcher was written, it would need the tools that the archive came with, so XPTSP.INF has been updated to include those...
- Re-organized the code so that related functions would be grouped together.
- Moved some code from the script itself to XPTSP.INI for future expandability.... (yeah, I know it looks weird)

Version 1.0.10b8:
- Initial release of the GUI version!
- UXTHEME.DLL can be patched directly by the script. (based on Zacam's patch)
- New Aero cursors can be installed by the script, along with modified themes using the new cursors.
- Resources and the patcher can be included in the XP source. (Repatcher not written yet)
- Option to include the OEM Info Generator at startup. (Not written yet)
- Option to change GUI Setup resolution to 1024x768, 1280x800, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1200, 2560x1600 (all resolutions based on Zacam's patches)
