Z-file Dropbox syncing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

At present there seems to be no way to keep the z-files in sync between iOS 
devices using Dropbox.  Dropbox only works on the saved games files.  Could you 
please expand the Dropbox syncing capabilities to also include the z-file for 
the game so that if we download a z-file on our iPhone it will automatically 
appear in our iPad after the following Dropbox sync!

Thank You Kndly,
Gerald Thomas

I intentionally didn't make automatic game file syncing work with Dropbox due 
to concerns about using  data bandwidth.  Games files are a lot bigger than 
save files, and most users would only need to copy the game file once, which is 
not really a 'sync' operation, and only for the game(s) they are actually 
playing.

I will consider adding a manual 'Sync Games' button in the Dropbox dialog 
though, where you can choose which games you want to sync, and I think that 
would give you what you need but still address my bandwidth concerns.

I was just thinking of this feature and found that someone has already 
requested it.  I'd just add that I would want the ability to put z-files I 
loaded via the file transfer server to be sync'd as well.  I'd love to be able 
to have my Infocom library on my couple of devices without having to manually 
upload them one by one to each device.

@ifrotz Love to make it easier to reload game file from Dropbox (e.g. during 
game dev); currently have to quit game/remove/load, awkward
