The new and much improved MythDora 4.0 is finally ready. As you will
see, things have improved greatly. Jarod Wilson and I have worked very
hard on this and I can safely say that this is the best version yet.
MythDora has undergone almost a total revamp. Things are in different
places and paths so be sure to read the changelog.
