claustromaniac e195aceb54
Updater 4.3
Changes:
	-The script doesn't touch the user.js file until it really has to.
	-The merge function is a bit smarter parsing files, at no significant cost. See examples below.
	-Minor syntactic changes here and there.
Additions:
	-New -multiBackups argument. I personally intend to use it to compare files and quickly review changes.
