[Use-revolution] Player Standalone auto-updates from Web

[Chipp Walters]

I've been thinking this could be a really cool thing...a single player
compiled for each platform which downloads from a web server your
application 'stacks'. So, you only have to build a single version of the
stacks and the player launches it from whatever platform it's on. It also
checks to see if a more current version is available of your stack and
updates if available.

So, I wrote one this evening and the source code with directions is
available at:

http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/Downloads.htm

It already has been tested and works with one of my existing projects. But,
I haven't compiled it for the Mac yet (i don't have one available right
now). If someone does compile it for the Mac, please send me a list of any
problems you may find.

There are a couple of global variables you'll need to set. This isn't
finished, but should be along far enough for those of you who want to try
it.
