Replace the current poor-quality handcrafted GUS configuration with
a script that programatically generates an optimized configuration
file based on statistical analysis of music from various popular WAD
files.
The PLAYPAL generation script (playpal.py) generates the full PLAYPAL
lump from the base file, but this actually contained all the palettes.
Truncate to just the main one.
Thanks to Fabian Greffrath for reporting this.
With a couple of exceptions, the majority of OPL instruments sound
better when adjusted down by one octave. It seems likely that the
original BSD instruments were supposed to sound this way and we've
been playing the wrong notes all this time.

Swap the offsets of the two segs on the front side of line 2544, the
exit switch. Seg 235 (from 0 to 48) had offset 48, and 236 (48 to 64)
had offset 0. Clearly these are the wrong way round.
Only noticable in engines that do not use the GL nodes in this map,
and have not yet switched to recalculating seg offsets themselves,
after that spate of wads with bad seg offsets circa late 2005.

This is a functioning (but awful) configuration file for the
Gravis Ultrasound card, which is usually stored in the IWAD as
DMXGUS / DMXGUSC. I constructed this by hand, and at least it's
better than nothing. Also included is a sanity check script that
checks the configuration will fit in the memory limits of the card.
This adds the remaining changes from horncomposer's modified version
of the old GENMIDI lump. Details from his accompanying text file
follow:
2/6/11- Replaced Electric Piano 2 (patch 5) - with the high pitched attack :)
Replaced Acoustic Piano (patch 0) - Serves as model for other pianos
Replaced Bright Acoustic Piano (patch 1)
Replaced Electric Grand Piano (patch 2)
Replaced Honky-tonk piano (patch 3) - Added "out of tune"
Accidentally discovered a good Electic Piano 1 (patch 4) - with chorus
This adds a good number of the missing percussion instruments. These
come from a dump of Matt Cadirao (horncomposer)'s modified version of
the old GENMIDI lump.
