Load game utilities before steam game loads

Made primarily to provide way to start configuration utilities for games that ship with separate exe files, as well as to enable using FlawlessWidescreen (use 32bit because 64bit doesn't play well with injection in 32bit executables).

Usage:

1. Find main game executable (usually steamapps/common/GameName/binaries/something.exe or similar)
2. Confirm that this exe file is invoked when you click play in Steam by renaming it to game.exe and then pressing play (if Steam reports "missing executable" then we are good, else keep looking).
3. Wait for Steam to redownload said executable...
4. Download this and rename it to game executable name (something.exe in this example). Copy it over (replace) original game execuable (providing that game.exe stil exists in that folder).
5. Download config.bat and save it in the same directory.
6. Modify config.bat to suit your needs (if you want to run FlawlessWidescreen, download 32bit zip version and unpack it to fw subdirectory).

Enjoy!
