I've added support for the demo.

We have an example here:

There exists 2 "h3demo.exe" : one is a cab archive, the other is the actual game executable.

The second will come up in unshield output, but can be safely discarded,
once GDP knowns it's of no use.

The part after the question mark is automatically stripped before searching the file system.
