FMod - Customizable UI Colors

During an endless study hall this morning, I made use of my nice XML configuration and event bus features in Abiathar to allow customization of the colors used in rendering extra stuff - like links, the grid, tile properties, and the selected tile crosshairs. It was very simple to use the event bus to put the default values in, which the render planes later use.

The grid, turned red via the XML config file
I should probably add a more human-readable way to change them, maybe an entry under Edit or View.

At the suggestion of a private beta tester, I also made some changes to the Dependency Collector. It now contains two new buttons, Step and Auto Detect. Step presents the user with a series of open file dialogs and inserts the choices into the correct file slots. Auto Detect searches the selected directory for standard files and inserts their names in the correct slots automatically, without asking the user anything.

The new DC
