Unofficial MFW Builder 0.2.3 pre release.

Im not done yet and need to unbrick my PS3 first before i can continue debugging the app. But this console is a problem console with a flash chip that won't let his self new written -.-
So i want to put out the actual state of the update to get feadback. Don't install a generated pup of MFW Builder if you don't have a flasher and/or this release goes official puplic.

I also updated the build_cfw_355.sh script for linux users to what I call build_cfw_430.sh. Also, on my github (Inviction (PSDev)) I created a repo of a task I wrote whih can add all the main resource files. Including all the rco files that mod the physical xmb, the pre-installed themes, Cldboot, coldboot sound files (AC3). Sense it won't have to skip task to task it speeds up the process.

Ditto bitsbubba. If we can get a MFW builder that is stable like before that would be awesome!

this version is more or less stable and its scetool function does work fine, but only on devflash files. have had no luck on coreos lv0, lv1, lv2. and the important task patch_cos does not work properly without modification. he has put too much into one single process, as i can see it. unluckily the hermes patches do also not work for 3.55 on my end and there is no further documentation
