Changelog:

Partition Logic can now resize Windows XP (NTFS) partitions, as a result of porting Linux ntfsprogs NTFS resizing code.
Allows partition-only resizing regardless of the filesystem type (with appropriate warnings).
Improved IDE/ATA hard disk driver performance by implementing block-mode I/O.
Added basic 'stub' NTFS filesystem support (detection and clobber).
Added basic 'stub' Linux swap filesystem support (detection and clobber).
Added a kernel disk function for rescanning the partitions of a single disk.
Add a kernel filesystem function for getting statistics about a filesystem (whether it's mounted or not, or indeed, properly supported or not).
Added a kernel filesystem function for getting resizing constraints.
Added a kernel filestystem function for requesting specific detection of filesystem type (useful for removable media and such).
Text mode now shows the operations/commands in two columns.
The 'move partition' and 'copy disk' functions now use standard progress dialogs and show time estimates.
Fixed: After formatting FAT32, Linux and older Windows installers would show the filesystem as 100% full.
Fixed: Errors with IDE/ATA hard disks as secondary masters.
Fixed: Unformatting (clobbering) a partition in the didn't seem to convince the kernel to un-detect the previous filesystem until reboot.
