Description
Due to limitations in FreePBX which cannot be easily overcome, modules not hosted in their svn can not ever be allowed to download and upgrade themselves through the same mechanism as standard FreePBX modules.
To overcome this, we can design and implement a simple method to check the most current release of the module online, and allow the user to download and install it right then and there from within the module.
This procedure should be generic enough to be easily adapted to any and all modules hosted here.

I've implemented a first attempt at this, and committed the files. Take a look and let me know what you think.
This system is relying on the last change date of the files to determine if there is a newer version, rather than actual version numbers...so that is a potential downside, but it was much easier to implement using the dates. It is also easier to maintain going forward because we don't have to be as meticulous about properly naming each source file with the proper version number.
Perhaps we need to implement some sort of version checking in each source file to indicate if the source file itself can be used only after a specific version of the Superfecta base module.
