Front SD ELF Loader

This is just a small Front SD ELF loader with a menu, written by svpe, #wiidev@efnet, svpe@gmx.net.
Version 0.3 is not supported by svpe, but GizmoTheGreen, also #wiidev, or gizmothegreen [at] hotmail.com
There are probably still some bugs so don't blame me if something goes wrong.
See COPYING for the license (GNU GPL 2; and _only_ version 2)
Usage
Create an "elf" directory (all letters in lower-case, don't include quotes) on your SD card and put all your ELF files in there. Load the tp-hack-loader.elf with the twilight hack or the trucha-disc-loader.dol with a trucha signed disc.
If you want to compile it yourself you just need to type 'make' in the root directory. Precompiled elf and dol binaries are included.
The miniloader/ is just a quick hack to make this work with trucha discs because the apploader i used didn't seem to support a non-standard entry point. The real loader with the front SD code is in the loader/ directory.
Miniloader not included in 0.3 (though includes a Programmer's Notepad project file)
