Well, the --batch-output mode does not depend on MEMDISK version any
more than MDISKCHK.COM already did, so its results do not require using
the MEMDISK from the same branch.
--mbfts and --safe-hooks modes require a MEMDISK version where those
were implemented. They've been around for a few months now.
The only real reason you might wish to use the MEMDISK from this
development branch over another is because of a bug fix in MEMDISK.
Passing "nodpt" to MEMDISK also avoids this bug, but then you don't get
a replacement DPT in INT 0x1E.
I guess the answer is, "yes, but it's not a big deal to use another
MEMDISK."
