* Minor cleanups
19-01-2011 cfg v65a (alpha)
* Updated libfat to svn-4520 which includes FSINFO (by Dimok)
FAT fsinfo stores the free space info to a designated sector
speeding up the time it takes to print the free space.
Previously the entire FAT table had to be scanned to get the
free space which could take up to a couple of minutes.
This was also the reason the option hide_hddinfo=1 is set
so that by default the free space is not displayed .
* Added a way to manually scan and sync the free space in fsinfo.
Go to global options / partition selection and press 2
Then all FAT filesystems will be shown and the free space for each
By confirming with A the free space will be scanned again. If the
scanned free space mathces fsinfo OK is displayed otherwise the
correct free space, which is then stored to fsinfo.
It is enough to do this once, after that the fsinfo should be kept
in sync. (but using some other homebrew to write/delete data from
FAT will make the info unsynced again, until all other apps are upgraded
with the new libfat as well)
* Minor change to usbstorage mem allocation (back to v63)
(in case it fixes problems with v64 that were not in v63)
