gimconv.cfg unnofficial changes made for rcomage

The version used as an standard unofficially is the one included in rcomage that uses a configuration file (named GimConv.cfg) initially edited by Zinga Burga to improve compatibility with rcomage, and later to add compatibility with ps3 rco's (there are some specific settings for ps3 that was added at some point, but now can be considered incorrect for ps3, or not generic enought)

The command line help of GimConv.exe gives a very limited explain of a few options (the ones at top are not real options, are more like groups of presets)

Some of the options that appears in the help of the command line what are really doing is to load the real options from GimConv.cfg, where all the options are listed and is posible to specify his default values, or to create groups of options, is also the only place where is posible to see all the different settings availables of the tool

These options was added by Zinga Burga to improve compatibility with rcomage, and later to add compatibility with ps3 rco's
