Stand alone add-on server interface

[Takara]

Given that not all Wesnoth players run the game off a net enabled system and download scenarios manually I'd like to suggest a stand alone add-on server interface. A sub-program that could run on a separate system and enable users to pull down add-ons from the addons server. As an example (and the reason for this suggestion) I run games on my laptop which does not have net access for multiple reasons, as such I'm forced to play outdated versions of scenarios and campaigns. While I know that the web based interface is going to be updated I think it makes sense to have a sub-program for the same purpose for those who download manually, thus making the web interface updates a little less important.

In essence I don't think this would be too hard to make possible as once the interface is done. It shouldn't need to modified unless the add-on server location changes and any changes to the main coding of it could be easily copied from the in-game interface. Thus making it easier to maintain and given that it could be rather simple in design it could no doubt be a minimal size or even a zipped file that the installer stores within the utilities folder. The user could then chose to use it, store it, delete it or even not notice it.

There is already a standalone client (which is written in python).
