Reflection Autoupdater for version 2

Heya,

I've been checking out reflection two, nice work. I'm going to get back into scripting soon (probably working more on SRL than reflection, but it's still a good base, would be interesting to make something with reflection again). Anyway, so I've looking at getting this into the Simba autoupdater.
The update should go pretty smooth, except for one detail - the plugin that reflection requires. We'll need to update the srl.sex extension for that as well. (So, people will also need to have extension.sex enabled, which would then update the srl.sex extension). So as it looks now, I will update the srl.sex extension tomorrow, perhaps I can make it look for reflection 2, if it exists, use that - otherwise download reflection 1 to keep some backwards compatiblity (and not breaking the old extension to give people time to update). Or we could make a new extension for reflection 2, but I think that would be silly since reflection 1 isn't going to be maintained anymore (or for much longer). :)

No need for backwards compatibility of Ref1. We are no longer maintaining it.

I understand; but to keep some backwards compatibility with the old Simba Reflection 1 extension; I'll name them a bit different. I've already added a new script for reflection 2; files are at http://wizzup.org/static/srl/srlref2.tar.bz2 and http://wizzup.org/static/srl/srl_refl_2_version . :)

Include RefCalculationsLib.dll in the Plugins downloader like you do for libsmart.

Then just rename your internal script to use the ref1 .tar.bz.

Then no one has to change anything to get Ref2 in their Simba.

Anyone wanting to continue to use Ref1 can simply disable the autoupdater.

Good idea. Done. It should just work, now.
