* src/GParted_Core.cc: Enhanced optimal block size copy algorithm.
- Changed algorithm to try all block size possibilities instead of
stopping as soon as next larger block size took longer to copy than
the prior block size. Due to anomalies in benchmark times, the
previous algorithm would favour smaller block sizes.
- Closes GParted bugs #546423, and #438574
* README: Updated with new directories for GParted Manual
