Unreal Engine 5.8 preview is here!

OK folks, I've implemented a script to automate the process of creating & processing bundled PSOs for Unreal Engine, so you too can avoid shader stutters, and have one of those "Precompiling shaders..." loading screens we all love in your game's startup sequence, with just one command.

Also it's so I can update mine in 6 months without having to read all the docs again; this is really why I did it, no offense 😉. https://github.com/sinbad/UEScripts/blob/master/doc/BundledPSO.md #unrealengine

(uses TCHAR/TEXT() for #unrealengine, but adaptable to general C++ if you want)
