AutoHotkey Updater - Know when there exists update for Autohotkey_L
/*
AutoHotkey Updater by Avi Aryan
Updated 24/4/13
===============================
For AHK_L
As ahk_basic is not updated anymore . Version stuck to 1.0.48.05
===============================
---------
Know-Hows
---------
* The Auto-Detect Feature works on the default registered autohotkey for opening script files.The one which opens .ahk files when you Double-Click on them.
* If any application other than Autohotkey is registered as the default, use Manual Option.
* The application can be run by ahk_basic also. It doesn't depend which version runs this script, the registered version of Autohotkey will only be taken into account
in the Auto-Detect Feature. ( Useful in external environments such as Scite4Autohotkey )
* Don't worry about the files created when the script runs, they will be Deleted!
* Tested in Win 7 32-bit
