  13 // This is my update system.  It is extremely simple to use.  Just pass the URL
  14 // where the version information can be obtained.  The version information will
  15 // be loaded in the background and a dialog will show up presenting the user
  16 // with the results of the check.  If userRequested is NO, then the system will
  17 // not do anything if an error occured or if there is no available update.
  18 // Depending on the tags given in the version file, the presented dialog can
  19 // have buttons which link to a "more info" page or a direct download, using the
  20 // default web browser of the system.
