Portable Mode #11

Because NAND backups are often saved on removable media, such as SD cards
or USB drives, especially if the NAND dump is used for something such as
triiforce, it would be really convenient if there was an option to enable a
portable mode in ShowMiiWADs, so you could install ShowMiiWADs to the same
removable media as the backup files so you could easily run it from any
computer, regardless of the changing drive letters.  The program itself
already works fine, the only issue is the saved paths would be incorrect if
you moved the drive to another computer and it had a different drive letter.  

Because the program is already self-contained, this would be fairly easy to
implement.  Basically all it would do is that if you enabled portable mode,
it would not save the drive letter in the config file, then when you load
the program, it loads the saved paths on the same drive as the program. 
Because you would still be able to load WADs from paths on other drives,
when you go to save the config file, if a path is not on the same drive as
the .exe, just don't save that folder to the config file.

I don't know how to set the issue type, but this is an enhancement request, not 
a defect.

Done.. Haven't fully tested it though.

Seems to be working just great.  Thanks for implementing this (and quickly 
too!) :)
