Huge Overhead Polymorphic Engine

The overhead of this engine isn't actually very 'Huge' at all, the name
just came about due to its modular design which has a lot of module
parsing and headers etc.. causing it to be quite a generic polymorphic
engine (GPE?).

All version numbers are internal version numbers until official release.

ETC..

This engine is not a virus, nor is it designed to release one on your
system. It is a utility for linking into your own programs to make them
polymorphic, if you think your'e going to complain should you experience
any loss or whatever as a result of using this package, then don't use
it in the first place. Should anyone want to include HOPE in some kind 
of package such as a virus writing utility or CD-ROM give away etc, they
may do so if they first contact me about it.

The usual disclaimer stuff, you use it, its your problem if anything goes
wrong, which it shouldn't if you use it right...
