[Third-Party Support] MCPatcher #35

The official installer for MCPatcher didn't seem to work for me, I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or if it broke over time.

Since there's no need for it anymore in modern versions due to alternatives and no more support, making it legacy version exclusive, and since betacraft deals in legacy versions, perhaps its functionality could be optionally integrated somehow for easy install on any supported version (similarly to what is suggested for #9)?

I've tried both the latest and first available version (5.0.3 and 2.4.5 respectively), but I can't get either to recognize a b1.7.3 installation from BetaCraft. I've tried to fiddle around with the directory structure to make it "look" like it's a vanilla installation from a beta 1.7.3 launcher (without the multiple instance support and all that), but that didn't work.

I've also tried the advice outlined here. While MCPatcher initially appeared to work, it crashed as soon as I loaded a world.

Will add MCPatcher versions into Mod repository at some point.
