	Pretty much by default; there isn't very much competition in this  
niche. There are a zillion tools out there for building web apps, but  
nobody else is working in the desktop arena. But even with that, we  
do make a pretty cool product!

	This is meant to keep developers who are using Dabo updated with  
improvements and bug fixes without having to be on the bleeding edge  
that comes with direct Subversion repository updates. When you  
install the app you've built with Dabo, updating the framework would  
be under your control, so this Web Update capability would never be  
used on an installed app.
