#489 [patch] DOSBox doesn't honor minute, second, frame (MSF) values specified in multi-file CUEs
When loading a CUE file having ISO + audio tracks, DOSBox does not honor MSF values if specified.
DOSBox does honor these when loading BIN/CUE files.
The MSF values can be very important for games that check audio track properties, such as Destruction Derby.

Attached is a patch for the latest DOSBox (r4162) that honors MSFs in multi-file CUE sheets, if present, and a Windows binary if you want to try it.
The Windows binary will print MSF diagnostic output so you can compare the values given to the DOS program between BIN/CUE vs. CUE/ISO+track files.
Also note a subtlety with Destruction Derby is it doesn't use an additional 2-second pregap (it wants PREGAP 00:00:00); I've attached my working cdrom.cue, if you rip your bin/cue to compressed audio tracks.
Minor fix to the patch.
... and corresponding Windows build.
This also allows playing multi-file BIN/CUE games, where each audio track is a raw RIP.
Sample CUE file (for Destruction Derby):

Also attaching a Linux static build (confirmed working under Ubuntu 18.04) for those on Linux.
