[Coco] Yet another DW4 update

[Aaron Wolfe]

Well... technically any file *could* be updated but quite often only
the big .jar file changes from one version to the next.  You can see
what the updater look at here:

http://dwupdate.cococoding.com/updates.xml

If you delete or change any of the files it monitors, it will replace
them with the versions defined for a particular version (if you tell
it to).  You can also force a re-examination of your current files by
entering:  /forceupdate   in the dw command box.

You need to download the latest (full) version to get the updater but from then on, you can do it through DW and only the jar is updated. all your settings and configs remain
