Slimcoin 0.6

A change to the indexing (the inclusion of total burned coins) requires that the BerkeleyDB index file blkindex.dat is rebuilt, essentially reloading the blockchain from scratch. This can be achieved in just 2 - 3 days with slimcoind -loadblock=blk0001.dat. For convenience, a rebuilt index is available in the datadir.zip resource.
