[Anthill-pro] VCS driver modifications (2.6.x)

[Eric Minick]

How did you right the new driver? If you exploded out the current module 
and then tweaked the source as needed, you probably have all the components.

Essentially, Anthill registers every module jar file that is sitting in 
the AnthillPro/modules directory on the fly at startup time. The 
.registry (plain text) files that are in the jar contain all the 
registration informaiton. If you plan to remove the existing driver and 
replace it with this one, most of the settings will be fine.

Otherwise, you'll need to change the paths to UI (.pgl) files and make 
matching changes in the ui registry file in the module as well.
