Mame since 0.83 has not been supporting -listinfo. This patch reads the -listxml
format instead. Tested with mame 0.86 and 0.83 .
Couple of points:
I did want to use the Qt xml librarys but these insist on reading and parsing
the whole file (35Mb) which then fills up all available memory and crashes (even
on 1Gb machines). Instead the parsing is done by hand. This does make a couple
assumptions like: no line breaks in the middle of definitions, all definitions
must start on a new line.
Line buffer has been increased to 20,000 as the longest entry (history of some
game) is 15,000.
