Actually, the script has had the "training" feature in it pretty much 
from the day it was written, back around summer of 2005.  It was never a 
"modification".  You might be thinking of a much much older extraction 
script that circulated prior to 2005.

Back in Nov 2009, I made further improvements that gave the script the 
ability in many cases to successfully locate & extract known firmware 
even when *not* previously trained.  Using cryptographic sums makes 
possible some really cool stuff.
