AW: question of method for update my app

[Eric Chatonet]

Dear Tiemo :-)

Yes, I have not added to this tutorial a checksum feature:
Actually, it would be welcome to ensure the process as it is done in  
the Rev installer itself but there was enough topics in this tutorial  
to not add something more... and stay understandable by all.

On the other hand and practically, I never encountered any problem  
when downloading.
Of course it may depend on user's connection reliability.
But I think you could let this apart, at least for a first run :-)
