    Default 'overwrite bi' or 'use :mod switch'

    I have tried successfully using the :mod switch with IBFD, but it can have its pros and cons.

    PROS (:mod switch)
    -with :mod switch, IBFD can be installed w/ other mods, IBFD will not overwrite any '...RTW/bi/data' or '...RTW/data' files

    CONS (:mod switch)
    -:mod switch will add ca. 200 MB unpacked to disk usage, most of this will be hun portraits as IBFD uses 100% custom units and 90% custom strat characters, total disk usage may also increase as no data are overwritten.

    DEFAULT (overwrite '...bi/data')
    -will save ca. 200 MB unpacked (packing it in the .exe or .7z format may make it smaller for DL, though)

    of course, I will release IBFD 6 as a self-installer, all you got to do is click the .exe file and let it do its job.
    people who use JSGME usually know how to install to a non-default directory anyway .
