Actually, this is a new feature. It is no longer necessary
to strip the ROM since (MOL no longer uses with libelf,
which expected the ELF header att offset 0). This holds
for 0.9.59 (the version bundled with YDL 2.0).

Moreover, the rsync version can load the ROM directly from the
HFS/HFS+ partition (there is a new '-boot' flag which
can be used to tell MOL which disk to startup from).

BTW: Do not use session save and restore with the rsync version -
the reimplementation of the block driver does not yet support
it.
