nibconv does not honour the speed setting #12

Hello Markus, sorry to bother you again, but I just found out that nibconv does not honour the speed testing.

I wanted to convert a D64 in a G64 but with longer tracks.

nibconv -C295 disk1.d64 disk1.g64

the line above should create a g64 containing the D64 data but in longer tracks. Instead, analyzing the g64 with nibscan, shows that the track lengths are the same as without the parameter.

Could you fix that?

It does not "stretch out" the track to fit the sectors. The purpose of this function was to allow longer tracks to be rendered to a G64 without truncation.

A D64 will always build to a "standard" sized track, no matter what. All you would be doing here is making the gaps longer which has little point.
