MKOB-Suite Windows w/Installer

Initial version of the MKOB-Suite for Windows. This provides binary (.exe) versions of MKOB, MRT, Configure and Syscheck, as well as a Windows installer that installs the core (MKOB, MRT and Configure), with options to install Syscheck, the MKOB User Manual, and desktop and start-menu shortcuts.

This also reorganizes the structure of the repository to assist in creating the binaries and to separate out the Python source (the code for the applications and modules) from the source for other things (the binary creation tool, the installer, etc.).

This includes a number of fixes from the previous version.

MKOB 4.1 (w/fix for key timing graph)

MKOB 4.1 release with fix for a problem with the Key Timing Graph on Windows. Since many users are on Windows, this seemed important enough to make it a release.

MKOB v4.1:

• Add 'Tools' menu
• Add 'Show Packets' to the 'Tools' menu
• Add 'Key Timing Graph...' to the 'Tools' menu
• Provide a 'Key Timing Graph' that can be used to improve keying, adjust 'bugs', and analyze incoming code.
• Fix a number of reported errors.
• Rename all 'MKOB' only modules to start with 'mkob'.
• Change all MKOB functional modules to be classes, rather than module-level code blocks.
• Start a MKOB4 User Guide.
